Dust can cause ton of heat (took me a while to learn this), and heat can cause thermal throttling (CPU slowing down to not overheat). Throttling seems to greatly affect this issue, more than it affects other things by far. Like you're saying, there's definitely something wrong, and while CPU throttling can slow everything down, it has a dramatically larger effect on the sound it seems - because something is wrong.

Yeah, it's really inconsistent, and I think that's why there's so many times people think it's better and then it "breaks again" - because it was never better, it's just intermittent sometimes. It comes and goes seemingly randomly.

Turning the visuals for party and self effects had no effect for me when I was testing in the inn, where it was very, very consistent and I was taking the video in my bug report. I didn't get that part in the video, but I did play with it a lot. I have macros to adjust the effects in 4 different ways, 3 of which I normally use anyways, and one for turning even self effects off that I made just to test. Even with nothing visible, they had the same stuttering effect.

I did briefly show the object quantity, and I think just left it on minimum, just to show it really did nothing at all too. It might be different with different setups though, since a couple things people said worked did nothing for me.

Is that consistent? I mean, if you relog and do the same thing like 4-5 times, do you get the same results with the same settings? It seems like 7 or 8 might just be from randomness.
