For all who suffer from lag and frame skipping when mouse looking, running through populated areas, a Dev posted on the EQ forums a temp fix until the roll out the actual fix
EDIT: If you play without using the patcher, then really you just have to modify the original Memory.INI file with the values noted below instead of making a new file. Because it won't get overwritten until patch day again which according to the post, they are going to make changes to this file during (presumably) the next update.
The post can be found HERE
Here is the text copied from the forum post if you just want to read it in this post:
=============================================================================
Please try this work around. It should benefit players with modern recommended graphics cards.
BitmapsPerFrame=20
MaxHighQualityTextureMem=512
DownsampleTextureMem=128
MemoryIni=Resources\Memory512.ini
GraphicsMemoryMode=2
For those who tried this, you can see that the Memory.ini file contains instructions and that there are a range of memory tuning possibilities. We'll be tuning Memory.ini default values to work better on modern machines in a future update.

- Copy the EQ file Resources\Memory.ini
- Rename your copy to Resources\Memory512.ini
- Edit your copy as follows
- Change these variables in this section to have the values shown:
BitmapsPerFrame=20
MaxHighQualityTextureMem=512
DownsampleTextureMem=128
- Edit the EQ file eqclient.ini and add this variable under [Defaults] section:
MemoryIni=Resources\Memory512.ini
- Also find (or add) this variable under [Defaults] section and change its value as shown:
GraphicsMemoryMode=2
- Run LaunchPad to launch EQ
