Hello all,
First of all there is a bug report for this bug. Please see:

I have added a comment that confirms this is a server-side issue. I will copy paste my comment here as forums tend to get more visibility.
This is definitely caused by some error on the server side.
Me and a friend tested this heavily as one of my friend's character was having this issue. We tested in the following way:
1. We downloaded a fresh client
2. We entered SotA with the character that is having issues. Player had 50 fps on the boat ride to the beach, but as soon as demo's were spawned, fps fell to 20. Opening the map or scoreboard halved this fps to 10.
3. We tested again with a different character using the new client. This character had 0 issues, and enjoyed 60+fps throughout the fight
4. We tested with a third character on the client with addons. This character also had 0 issues.
5. We tested WoD models and regular models. The issue continued to be character specific.
As such, we have concluded there is something on the server side causing this fps drop to happen on certain characters.
My suspicion is that achievements are playing a role in this. The character that is having issues has far more issues than the other characters we tested. The character has 7.1k achievement points.
Alternatively, it could be caused by some items. The characters we tested all had different gears. The important items to note are Death's Verdict and Whispering Fanged Skull. While I don't think these items could be causing the bug, it is worth mentioning nonetheless.
It would be nice if others can also share their achievement points so we can get some idea of what might be causing this bug.
