Admittedly I hadn't looked at this before the patch as I wasn't having issues. Alt-tabbing out post patch also made Windows 7 pop up the "do you want to close Aero and go into Basic mode" moan which it didn't before. This does suggest higher CPU usage for whatever reason.
I didn't put this in my previous post but I did also check the game with my PC at normal, non-overclocked settings too using a standard BIOS profile. My computer is very stable - it's been tested with P95, IBT, memtest86, OCCT, Furmark + IBT simultaneously - and hasn't had issues with any other game due to overclocking, but it was worth checking to see if overclocking was affecting it nevertheless. This made no difference, in fact it seemed a tiny bit worse.

Good to know. I was going to OC to see if it copes better.
