What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
[Description here]
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Load to main menu. Start new game. After opening cutscene of trio on train talking about Professor Lupin, Ron runs down hallway and you assume control of Harry. Game then stops completely for several seconds before resuming. Same thing happened as I fought my way through the train to Malfoy, the book, etc.

Does both the FPS and VPS drop, or only the FPS?

VPS drops as well. All the way down to 13 when I tried it just now.

- Status changed from New to Questionable
- Relates to performance changed from No to Yes
Normally I would just write this off as shader compilation stuttering or something, but the pause seems abnormally long...

Here is a video that is a little longer to show multiple stops - a couple in hallway, then with the book, then when facing Malfoy. I included the technical overlay which might be distracting but hopefully can give somebody a clue.

That link doesn't work for me. It says "This video is unavailable."

Note that when the stops occur several items in the overlay drop down to 0 for several seconds.

Oh yeah, it drops to 0 FPS during this. I don't know if it's generating shaders, or it's smashing our JIT cache, but, I've reproduced it.
I don't know whether I want to keep this open or not though. I don't see the harm, I guess. Accepting.

For what it's worth, the console shows:
core\powerpc\jit64\jit.cpp:597 W[PowerPC]: flushing far code cache, please report if this happens a lot
every time the performance drop occurs.

Yeah, I looked into this and it's one of those games that causes lots of flushing.
