You could try disabling GLSL.

Tried this and it crashed the client before it could finish loading. Deleted the line and reopened the client...may have made it worse?

it may be a good idea to clear the shadercache after changing that setting - from my experience not doing so and changing that setting may cause crashes/corrupt the cached shaders

I copied the 0.5.8 zip's to 0.5.9 with no change.

What you mean by "no change" there? I assume you mean the same performance problems arise. If this is the case means it's not the new art itself to give you problems, but potentially other changes to Planeshift client (example shaders definitions) or CS itself.

Now keeping 0.5.8 art into 0.5.9 :

1) Check how much free ram you  have when PS is running. I see you have 4Gb total, but I need to know how much is free.
2) Check if the lag happens only on large maps, or also on small ones (like a guildhouse). Or try to find any other recurring pattern, example: lag only when many chars are on screen, or many objects, or large maps, or reflections, ...
3) try to copy data/shaders and/or data/shader-snippets from 0.5.8 to 0.5.9 . If it doesn't crash (may be completely incompatible) check which perfs you have with that, and we may be able to identify what's the problem.

Oh, Talad has given me another idea! Beside the free ram amount check also, in your activity monitor, if psclient process seems to freeze when you experience the issue.
A frozen process appears in red in your activity monitor.

If you have 0.5.8 and 0.5.9 installed, you may try to copy the art/meshes.zip , mataerials.zip world.zip from your 0.5.9 to your 0.5.8 install, and run 0.5.8 to see if that is better or not. Then try viceversa with 0.5.9. This can tell you if it's the new psclient application to be the problem or if it's the new art.
