I've been experiencing this issue since beta. Anytime I open up the contact menu my fps goes from 60 to 5-10. I've tried lowering graphic settings/resolution nothing changes. Did many clean installs and i am running latest nvidia drivers

i7-2600k @ 4ghz

It seems like this issue has been pretty widespread for awhile, but I haven't seen any official word on it.

For me, it started happening in October on through to today,  and it affects both Contacts and Guild UI windows for me.

Hmmm - I haven's seen that issue myself.  At least your Contacts menu isn't up constantly.  Since this is most likely a game bug you would need to contact GW2 Support or post the problem on the Official Forums.

I haven't encountered this issue either and I have pretty much the same specs as yours.

I've met others with it also not sure what causes it

Not sure either, but I'm running the game on a SSD and I have noticed small behavior differenced between a SSD and a traditional hard drives like the time it takes to load textures on the mini map.

I actually tried to replicate the issue and I was still at 45 fps on max, native sampling in Lion's Arch.

Who experiences this and who doesn't seems not to follow any rhyme or reason. We had a thread here on GW2 Guru a few months ago discussing it and it didn't seem to follow any particular hardware configurations, and affected both high-end and low-end setups.

For what its worth, I'm running an i5-750 at 3.6 GHz, a GTX 460 1 GB with 310.90 and Windows 7 64-bit. Also running the game off of an SSD.

If you look at the changelog, there is a note about that.
