If they're showing as spikes on the netgraph, it's most likely your internet connection. The other problem might be that you have a bad hard drive or controller (or need a driver upgrade).|

I've tried messing with lots of settings, but nothing seems to be fixing it, so I don't think it's anything in particular to do with graphics, as the pauses are happening with the login screen aswell.

If you can get us your CoH Helper and HijackThis logs that'd help.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
For whatever reason, the problem has disappeared. It possibly might have been my net spazzing out, but the lag was happening (when it was happening) during the login screen aswell as the character selection. They were noticable pauses, every 3-5 seconds for about 2 seconds, the input cursor would stop blinking, the character would stop moving, etc ... so I don't think it was my net ... regardless it's disappeared now ... so I dunno ...

I'm experiencing the exact same thing, and the only thing I can think that changed was I updated to the newest driver for my radeon 5800 series (I think 5850, but might be 5870). My problem isn't just going away though, and it's making it very hard to want to play. Obviously I want to rollback the driver and see if that fixes it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that on Windows 7.
EDIT: Just uninstalled the 11.5 drivers after finding a direct download of 11.4. Now after going back to 11.4, everything works fine.
