Increased processor use

In the last patch, or even two, something drastically changed in processor use. I admittedly have an old one, 2600k over clocked to 4.4 and i recently upgraded to a GTX 2600S.

I upgraded GPU right before super carrier, and saw a massive increase in performance. I went from averaging 12-15 fps to 35-40. When super carrier released i saw a few more fps come my way (aside from on carrier obviously).

Two updates ago i saw a plumet in performance, my processor starting to bottleneck, which as surprised as I was, wasnt really an issue when i upgraded my card. Then, with the last update. It got worse. Im frequently at low 20s to upper teens. Ive even lowered settings.

My plan was to always upgrade the rest of the computer over the next few months, but, that may be escalated because for whatever reason, the processor is handling information far less efficiently than before the prior two patches.
