I know this thread is almost 3 months old, but I too have experienced this, for a while now.
I used to have no problems with SL until last november (2010), then my framerate suddenly dropped after a viewer update (using viewer 2.x).
It used to be around 17 (not really high perf. but it was ok) and then it dropped to 3. Nothing changed in hardware or internet connection.
Since then I doubled my internet speed and bought a better videocard, but framerate is still 3 of 4 fps with some sudden bursts to 39 (for 1 second). Ping time is ok as is packet loss. I disabled every single program in the background that I could. But no dice.
When using a 3rd party viewer my framerate is still not ok, but a bit better (14 on avarage).
So basically I really wonder what is going on. I nagged LL for months but finally discontinued my premium account since loggin on became impossible. I still try once a week, and sometimes things seem ok for half an hour and I am happy only to get disapointed again the next day.
