Game keeps slowing down and then speeding back up again

Hi,
I'm really enjoying the mod so far, but I'm having a problem with the framerate dropping to the speed of a slideshow every 5 mins or so. Normally the game runs very smooth, and the number of objects and the complexity of the scene doesn't seem to matter. After maybe 5 or 10 mins the framerate just drops massively for about 30 seconds, and then will lurch back up again and run smoothly untill it happens again. During these periods when the game slows down, all the sounds in the background are fine.
I have lowered the display settings, and while this improves the overall framerate, it doesn't stop the 30 second slow downs I keep experiencing.
I'm sorry I can't offer a more technical description of my problem, I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if there is a known solution.
If I choose to play vanilla Deus Ex everything runs fine.
I'm playing on a dual core 1.8Ghz Laptop, with a NVidia 8400M GS graphics card and Windows Vista.
