I have the same thing happen if all I do is run the missions that are given me. But if I enter a high traffic area, like the harbor, the lag follows me on my return trip.
Someone would probably counter with, "Just don't enter the Tokyo harbor then," but I say, "What's the point of even playing if you can't run that kind of risk/reward and see what the dev's worked so hard on modelling?"

Just a thought? It may be something in the game but I can't help there.

I know that isn't the true cause for two reasons: I can cruise the Pac chasing missions without the problem cropping up, and I did have to exit the game and take a break (wife, kids) last night. The lag was still there later on when I reloaded.
It has to be the number of entities loading into memory that I can actually contact (sonar, radar, visual) and they are not unloading when I leave the general area. Or maybe they couple with the contacts. Who knows.
You'd think after this game being out a year, and all the old salts on this board, that I wouldn't be the only one noticing this....
