Since the patch some of my instances of WoW are getting horrible lag spikes. Whenever they change targets they get about a ~1 sec spike. Also, my FPS on the windows seems to be erratic even when I stay in the same place. Sometimes they get capped 30fps and then for a few minutes they get 10fps.

I've not noticed this in the couple hours I played last night, but I'm only running two at the moment.

The same thing happens to me whether I have two or five open.

What server/timezone are you playing in? I'm on Garona at the moment which is CST and pretty close to me geographically.

I'm on Gorefiend which is EST and I'm in EST. I know it's not a driver issue 'cause I checked and made sure I'm on the good Nvidia ones, not the ones with the fan issues--Plus when I swap my main screen to an alt spot and bring him to the main the lag continues--Despite the two monitors being hooked up to different video cards.

Had them here too, for the first time since I installed RAM about a year ago. Possibly a different issue; I use IWT to open quest givers on slaves, and windows flash open and closed, some won't open without walking some distance away and returning, active window changes and actual mouse use doesn't help either.

EDIT: Servers Dalaran, Bladefist, Dethecus

I did some troubleshooting and narrowed it down to Pitbull. Once I updated it all my problems went away.

Interesting. Mom was having "jerky" problems today but is not savvy enough to do much addon updating. I'll get her to update and see if that resolves things. :P

Your mom plays WoW? Awesome! :D

I was visiting one weekend and playing and she said it looked interesting. (She's been a gamer for years, since the Space Quest/Police Quest/Legend of Kyrandia days.) So I showed her a bit and she got into playing it. Especially since it's cheaper than normal gaming and prevents her needing to LFG for any non-trivial quests.

Interesting. I wonder what her avatar looks like. ;)

I have the exact same problem since the patch. I don't use pitbull, but I do use questhelper (which is an out of date addon) for leveling. It's the only out of date one I have.

I'm on Kil'Jadeen (PDT) but I'm CDT. These are new toons so I might move back to Wildhammer (CDT) and see if the problem happens there as well.
