Performance Issue?

Are you hosting a dedicated forest + caves server while playing the game?

Do you happen to be running other applications in the background while playing the game? If so, try disabling those to see if that makes a difference.

If you have any mods installed, temporarily disable/delete those to see if that helps. If it does, try resubscribing to the mods one-by-one to figure out which mod was causing the slowdown.

Should the issue persist, please provide us with your DxDiag.txt and client_log.txt files. You will find client_log.txt in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether

Changed Status to Known Issue

I seem to be also getting the issue on my Nvidia GTX 960m. When I switch to my integrated 4600 HD graphics, the game is 60fps on 1920 x 1080.

Same issue on Nvidia 960M card on both Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together. This appears to be game ready driver related. Rolling back to 362.00 resolved performance issues.

Interesting catch Zinc001; I was able to reproduce this with a different user. Thanks for sharing that with us. If everyone else can try rolling back your GPU to the previous driver, that may be of help until NVIDIA's next update rolls out. Let us know if that helps.
