Chiming in to say that I have the same problem. It doesn't occur often but usually in the big fights. Personally, it only happens during the combat in Denerim when it was attacked by darkspawn. The FPS is ok, everything moves ok but everything registers later. Its like playing an MMO and you have high ping.
Just saying that the OP is not alone.

Also having this "lag" problem. I noticed everyone that reported this issue has a Phenom AMD CPU Quadcore. I think its got something to do with that. have the Phenom Quad 2.2ghz AMD, 2gb RAM, 8800gt. I experience lag in the game continuously, but this new internet-lag-lookalike is different. Animations are working fine, but the actual damage and healing etc seems to bottleneck and suddenly all appear at once later.
Having said that, what PC would be ideal? 4gb RAM would probably be a start for me, but what is the world coming to when your QUAD core isn't enough for this game?

Personally, my processor is intel c2d. Sorry to throw a wrench into your theory.
But yes, I would like this issue either lessened or fixed. Again, this doesn't happen to me often (only in the final battle quest in Denerim) but when it does its usually too late for me to do anything LoL.

My guess would be that the 1.03 and now the 1.04 patches increased the already existing memory leaks in the game. Personally I never had any problems playing Origins before installing 1.04, dont think I played Origins with the 1.03 patch. Then the slowdowns really started an mass to a point where it becomes almost unplayable, and I really shouldnt have to restart my game every time because of a poorly programmed patch.
And yes I would say that my specs more then meet the requirments for Dragon Age Origins, they sure did before the broken patches.

I have this problem too. When there are too many npcs in a battle (Redcliffe was a nightmare - I had to have all my characters engage from the maxclip distance with ranged weapons) the graphics still flow smoothly, no video lag or choppiness. Enemies continue to do damage to myself and allied npcs normally, but my damage and healing take several seconds to land. More, if I hit on an enemy for a few seconds and then move on to another one, the first one never seems to get damaged - I have to continue attacking the same enemy until the damage starts actually affecting the NPC. Abilities and spells process graphically (again, no graphical lag or stuttering) as soon as I hit the button, but are subject to the same delay for the damage to process.
At first I thought this only occurred when allied npcs were involved, but then I got swarmed by miniraptors in the Deep Roads and had the same delay occur.
It seems to me that the problem obviously isn't with the graphics card or else the visual performance would suffer. This leaves either the ram or the combat subroutines being overwhelmed. Have the devs ever weighed in on this?
While I don't have a bleeding edge machine, it is certainly more than adequate to take care of Dragon Age's requirements. It plays smoothly and cleanly with medium detail on in 1920x1200. I also tried dropping all the graphics options down to baseline in Redcliffe and it didn't make a difference. Basic specs are:
WinXP
DirectX 9.0c
Corsair 675 2gb DDR2 SDRAM
ASUS p5ND2-SLI LGA motherboard (I don't use the SLI)
Pentium D 805 2.66Ghz Dual Core (not overclocked)
EVGA 7900GTX 512mb Video Card
Gobs of space on the hard drive
500W power supply
