Whats with the lag in 1.7?

Since the update I sometimes get minor stuttering near planets where it was smooth before. Also, entry into and exit from SC seems to be taking a little longer. But it's still only a few seconds.
 
Funny thing is I had more problems with 1.05 and 1.06. I had some "superlong" witch space incidents in 1.06 and none in 1.07. Of course it wasn't consistent, and a lot may have depended on where/when. So what happens is a new patch comes out, someone gets a super long witch space thing, or gets some loading lag and its OMG THE PATCH BROKE ELITE.
 
Since the 1.07 patch I am getting severe stuttering due to HDD read/write of the texture files. My machine is not the highest spec in the whole world, but it's pretty OK and has been doing peachy up until now. Last night it got so bad that I just logged out and read a book instead.
 
Not only have I noticed in game, but this afternoon something was giving me keystroke lag in the Steam overlay Google doc I had open.

I'm new to using Steam, the overlay and Google Docs, so wasn't sure whether that sort of thing happens anyway from time to time, but it would certainly tie in with a period when I was experiencing lag in the game itself.
