Recent Micro-stutter/Lag Issues

[Jockiechon]

Recently (for the past 4 days or so) I've been getting small graphical stutters like, every few seconds a few frames are skipped.

I ran FF14 on max settings for a month just fine up until now. Now I crank it down to the lowest setting, get 100+ fps and the stuttering is still there.
Happens from simply walking or turning the camera (don't get me started on moving on a mount, then I skip three times the frames)

It's been suggested I update my GPU drivers, uninstall and redownload the game, etc. I've done it all and it is still here.
Is this something that popped up recently to anyone else?

Avast forums has posts about weird lag getting injected from their firewall. Could be something going on like that if you've recently updated your security software. Could check the support forums for that software to see if anything is being reported there.

If you've got anything overclocked or otherwise tweaked to use turbo/performance settings, try easing up on the settings, just to rule it out. May not necessarily be overclocking in the normal sense--could simply be running your memory on a turbo or high performance profile, or otherwise tweaked it to be running tight timings (CAS/RAS and such) in the BIOS. My XP box started freaking out like that recently. Ultimately had too loosen up the RFC timing 14 points to stop the random lockups, then had to also drop the FSB a little (dropped CPU from 4.0 to 3.96 GHZ) to finally get it to smooth out again.
