im not sure of how you have done your grafical settings for all 5 windows..
but i have max settings for my main window. and then i have the other 4 made very small and with lowest settings.

main window is on maxfps 100 (doing a steady 50fps normaly) and the others are on 10fps each.

so put all the "slaves" on lowest settings and your main window to medium settings or wherever you end up comfortable
with the performance/quality ratio.

Do you do Pip Swapping? Cause how do you handle the quality changes with the windows? Ive been pretty happy with having low quality all around, it still is a nice looking game, but it did look pretty awesome with everything on high too :) But since I have no 'main' I would need the settings to swap between which ever screen I have active, hehe. I also have very low ram for 5boxing so maybe I am just better off as is.

i have no idea what pip swapping is.
im not using keyclone so that might be why.
im using the not so loved pwnboxer ;).

and i also dont use a leaderless setup as i understand you are.
so i dont swap windows much.

if ram is a issue then get a stick more on the next paycheck ;).

Ah, ya dont change leaders much so that would explain that... and its not the cash thats a problem with the ram its that Id have to Replace what I have, not boost it up :)

Ive seen sets of 6gb for none to bad prices but with the focus being on levels 1-60 for as many characters as possible the only times I really lag due to ram(graphics) is on the weekend in Org cause of all the flippin people there, and some times in Shatt (Easiest place to hearth to get around WoW)

well il give you 2 tips i used in the past before i multiboxed with the help of a keyboard clone "aid" and is still using.

make the other windows small as hell. the minimum is rather small :).
that will lower ram by alot.

BUT the best one is to have the other windows minimised.

im on 2 gb of ram with 5 wow running. and not really having much issues besides pwnboxer bugs :P.

*dang i went afk and forgot what i wanted to say...*

I run 5 on 2GB as well, My windows are fairly small but they all render at the size of my main one :) Its just the way it goes, hehe. I do have them all visible though.. I read a post of another person who plays on PvP servers that mentioned using the smaller windows as rear and side view mirrors, it has helped me spot trouble a few times now :)
