Very strange things happen here,

I have an Acer5920G with 8600GT (512MB) and 2Gigs of Ram and using WinXP home.

FPS is 50 at the start of the game,
it drops to 25 for any menu i open,
then it drops to further 17 and 11 for any additional menu opened respectively.
when i close all menus, it doesnt raise back to 50 but can only make it to 25 FPS.

I read all related articles here, (seems a very common issue) disabled Clear type fonts, turned off all running processes in background, changed resolution and even tried running the game in 16bit color. The performance just slightly improves but it is still annoying and totally ruins my nerves.
