I voted neutral... since I didn't figure my issue was caused by poor performance. It really should be classified as a bug, in my opinion. I've read about it previously up on the forums... somewhere's, there's a thread on it.
Symptoms: Positioned on the bridge, looking at the wake at the rear of the boat, my frame rate crawls. Look away, and the frame rate returns to normal. Same problem occurs when zoomed in on a burning/damaged ship. This appears only after running SH4 for a "good amount" of time (I usually notice it after 30 minutes or so).
If I remember right, the aforementioned thread stated this is caused by a problem with DirectX "timing out" (seems to me, it's switching "priorities" after a certain amount of time). Alt tabbing to the desktop, then returning to SH4, repairs the issue, at least temporarily.
