Something with your graphics card buffer or such. I use to get that all the time with my old PC. That is what I had been told at the time. I would get it with other games than LFS as well. It would dump my FPS from 30-40 down to around 5 too. Reboot the machine to temporarily fix it. I'd suggest graphics drivers upgrade or possibly even a DirectX upgrade (current direct X is 9.0c)
