Yep, I had the bug in the Dr. Saleon mission as well and returning to the Normandy did indeed fix it.
I hope they fix it soon, because on Virmire, it essentially locks you out of making a certain choice, which is not really desirable in an RPG.
Thanks for the posts and examples.
If you haven't included your driver version, could you include that too?

I've experienced the same thing in both instances. After the Dr. Heart cutscene and the insane Salarians cutscene the frame rates drop. Loading from save stops it, repeating the action repeats it. You can bypass it on Virmire by not killing the Salarians. You cannot bypass the Dr. Heart one. The Virmire cutscene is low enough FPS and deep enough into the mission to be, uh...quite literally unplayable. You're not finishing that mission to get back to the Normandy. The Dr. Heart one doesn't give as much of a drop and the proper behavior is restored after returning to the Normandy, which is a quick, enemy free jaunt away.

Same issue here, instant fps drop after killing the salarians.
Quick save/quick load does not work.
Restarting the game does not work.I also got the framerate issue with Dr. Heart in the MSV Fedele and it solved itself when coming back to the Normandy.
