DusK, it may be that your hard drive is slow. My hard drive had problems before and everytime I started recording with FRAPS, the framerate would drop from 40 to 5, and stay there until I stopped recording. What I did was reformat my entire hard drive and got everything I needed back on, and when I loaded Halo and tested FRAPS, I hardly got any video lag from recording.
For me, I get around 40-80 FPS normally, depending on the map, and how much action is going on. If its like in a small map with 16 players in an FFA match, and all hell breaks loose like nades and rockets flying everywhere and exploding, it goes down to about 15-20.
When recording with FRAPS, I get between 15 lowest possible to a good 40...maybe 50 tops. Then again, I also play at 1280x1024 resolution, with everything turned up.
