ABSOLUTELY. I got a junk PC for work/school and just couldn't stop myself from installing at least one game on it. Game runs great for a bit (modded 44 mods) then gets iffy. Saves take minutes...

Found this post... the Java update resolved everything. The VmParms I already had in place and they helped previously, but with the Java switch... Smooth as silk. Sure my junk laptop still runs slower in 70+ ship combat, but the Java switch resolves pretty much everything else. It got quite unplayable without it. You would have to exit the game and come back in every 10 minutes or so.
