Hi! Here's my problem.
The game works great, I have always steady 60 FPS, but when I hit other ship, and it starts... flaming (? in space? But we have shockwaves, so nvm ;) ) my framerate drasticly drops, even to 5-10 FPS. So, is there any way to disable this "flames", because I can live without them ;)
Here is the screenshot to show about what I'm talking (resized):

What's your CPU and video card? Does this happen only with FSPort?
And as far as I'm aware, you can't turn the flames off.

Yep, retail is working fine.
CPU is Intel i7-3630QM and GPU is GeForce GTX 660M (yep, it's a laptop), also 8 GB RAM

Assuming you have an Optimus enabled laptop - I seem to remember reports recently of a bug whereby FSO would refuse to run on the Nvidia chip regardless of the setting in the Nvidia Control Panel, instead always running on the Intel chip.
Edit: A fs2_open.log would let us know if this is the case. Instructions are here http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=56279.msg1180359#msg1180359

To be honest, you gave me a clue to fix my problem ;) I just misclicked the .exe file and chose "fred" to run with nVidia card, not the actual game.
Now it works fine! :)
THX, problem solved.
