A DxDiag would be mighty helpful for fixing your crashes. Also, could I be a pain and ask you to edit your title to something a little less egregious?

Press cntrl + P when in game- that brings up the performance monitor. First page shows the 'client' performance (i.e. your PC), I'll imagine that will be doing well as they did a massive update on client side performance recently (so even late game with 1000's of units you should be at reasonable fps). Press cntrl + P again to see the 'sim' page, this should be running at 1.0 fps normally. Press a third time to get the 'server' page. The server *should* be running at 10fps, however in the games I've seen lagging this is usually what gets behind (if it drops below about 8 fps the game starts getting very slow).

The other thing I've noted is that some planet types appear to be worse than others for server lag- trees cause problems for the server (probably due to the move complex pathing of untis around trees).

The best way to talk about perframnce issues and crashes it to submit a bug in our forum and follow it up with a dxdiag, my man.
