Framerate issues on XB1 (Destiny)

Folks on reddit are saying that this is only happening now when Xbox chat is active. I can attest to that. After the raid, MasterNoodle and i ran the nightfall, and the lag was gone (we were still in a party, but only the 2 of us). After that i did some patrol by myself (chat turned off) and the frame rate was fine. So it looks like something in the update does not agree with the Xbone party chat.

I'll double-confirm that. Was running a raid last night and the framerate was incredibly slow. TBH, it actually made the Atheon fight easier (when you have time to line up and make every crit shot, the supplicants go down quick), but it was also making things take forever. We exited the XBL party and used game chat, and IMMEDIATELY the framerate went back to normal.

We regretted this action right away, as (to our now-recalibrated perceptions) Atheon appeared to go into turbo mode.

Also of note: even in super-slo-mo, Atheon's crit spot seems unreliable.
