Help Performance drop when charging + connected to WiFi

I updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 (on 3 UK) a few days ago. Overall the performance boost has been excellent and I'm very happy with the updated firmware, but I seem to have run into a very strange and specific bug and was wondering if anyone else had seen the same problem. I've Googled and Googled and haven't seen anyone with the same issue yet :(

Basically, when I plug the phone in to charge it suffers from extreme (to the point of unusable) input lag - but *only* when I'm connected to WiFi at the same time. If I turn off WiFi and plug the phone in to charge it works perfectly - with a buttery smooth interface :P Likewise, as long as the phone isn't plugged in, I can connect to and use WiFi normally without any input lag.

However, as soon as I try to charge the phone when connected to WiFi, or turn on WiFi when already charging, the whole thing slows to a crawl.

This has only started happening since I upgraded to Jelly Bean, so I can only assume it's a firmware problem, but I seem to be the only person in the world with this problem. Has anybody else seen it? Has anyone heard of it being a problem for other handsets? Failing that, do any 'Droid gurus here have any idea what could be behind it?

Thanks!
