There is nothing MORE to learn about.

Run the game without EQMap. Use FRAPS or your video card to watch the FPS.

Now run the game WITH EQMap. Watch your FPS drop by 7-10 FPS. Same spot, not moving, no changes to the graphic settings.

Take EQMap back off, run the game. FPS is back to normal.

But that's ok, since only a few people are having the issue, it is easier to blame the end user rather than fess up that EQMap could possibly be sucking down FPS because of either bad coding on the EQMap side or the SONY engine.
