I am wondering if this is a universal issue or something i can hopefully fix.

Combat and the majority of ingame menus are always slow.
If i', fighting a mob and they use some sort of aoe if i don't move the second it starts casting i get hit without fail, half the time if i had an ability Qd up it will go off after i have ran away. I also get the xp/drops text long before the mob dies or the killing blow goes off.

As for menus the biggest one o truly notice is when trying to manage my retainer as it takes about 5 seocnds per item to: click about 3 times or wait 2 seconds before it responds to a click, and then waiting for it to deposit and update the retainer's list.
