Client freezing while zoning and other issues

[ALLCAPS]

I'm glad to see I am not the only one. The only useful suggestion I have heard thus far is to restart your computer when the problem happens. This may or may not help you, but after restarting I can usually go a couple of hours without freezing upon zoning, but the problem will come up again sooner or later.

I also heard that alt-tabbing to another program will increase the chance of this happening, but I can't say that with certainty since I alt-tab often so I can listen to Howard Stern via Sirius' website. (BABABOOEY, though I doubt anyone will get that reference)

I too came back after a break and this NEVER happened before I came back, it was always smooth sailing until I started playing again. Really makes me wonder what happened to really cause this issue.
