Whatever you did with the Swarms, please undo it. They make my framerate go to 0.

[edit]D'oh! You're right. Turns out I had effects detail turned up to high. =/[/edit]

You can turn down/off the effects for now (hit ESC then while in flight, or Options in the station). Perhaps you could post in Bugs regarding your experience, complete with your OS and video card type.
