So, i deleted my original QSP folder, and downloaded the latest version off it's website, and the lag problem went away. But some of the pictures or gifs are not showing now...such as blowing a taxi driver for a free ride, or when offering a BJ to truck drivers while hitchhiking. It's a weird issue. Maybe I'll try reinstalling the older version just to see if removing it and putting it back has something to do with it.
When I went to remove the old version, even though QSP was shut down, it wouldn't let me delete the folder. Says something inside the folder was still in use. So, even though I killed the program, there was another process from QSP still running. I went through my task managed, but I couldn't find anything that resembled or looked like it might belong to QSP still running. Ended up rebooting my system, and that cleared whatever process was still stuck out, and let me delete the folder. I re-tried the original after I rebooted my system, but it was still sluggish with the older QSP, when the new worked fine.
Just some more info... i don't think it's necessarily the game, but the QSP somehow bugged out. It was an all of the sudden thing, like working fine, then it wasn't.
