Something similar happened to my game. It could mean that your computer is a little short on memory (RAM), causing some programs to run slow. What I did was clean up my harddisk, removing programs that I didn't use anymore. Also, I downloaded Regcleaner at

You should also make sure that you have the latest patch, the latest version of DirectX (that isn't a beta), plus the most current video and sound drivers for your system.

If you notice this happening during one of the larger battles or against a dragon, you might also dial back your sound and video settings.

Get the patch here.

What kind of video card do you have? You might want to get the latest video and sound drivers, too.
