Probably a corruption issue - the same thing can happen to log files. Probably something to do with the fact that the client is an old piece of software which was originally written for Windows 98, and therefore susceptible to corrupting files that it writes to in modern file systems. With corrupt log files, it will still write to the file but it will cause the client to hiccup with each new successful write, creating the illusion of lowered framerate - theoretically it's not really a framerate issue, but it presents as one.
I've never had a corrupt eqclient.ini, but what I'd do is just create a new file, copy and paste the text from the old corrupt file into the new file, and then save that as eqclient.ini so that I keep all my client settings.
