My game is slowing to a crawl - the client is grabbing more memory in each session - fairly quickly reaching over 3GB.
What's happening? Any ideas?

It's called a "memory leak."
Ideally, every time you switch characters, the DDO code would "let go" of all the data that makes up the previous toon you were logged in as so that the proper amount of memory would be available for the next toon you logged in as. But the DDO client doesn't do that.
The only way to actually free up all that memory is to re-start your DDO client after two or three toon switches. Some people (probably those with 4 GB of RAM or less) do it more often.

This bug and the one that overwrites your .ini files are my two biggest angrynesses.
