do a search for the "Sym-Link" trick of setting up Wow on a Mac. I believe there is a example of it on wowwiki.com where it will have you edit a text file that you will execute in terminal. it will create the symlinks and directories needed, and make another copy of the world of warcraft.app file for you to use.

when you start up the multiple wows, start them in windowed more, and then grab the window, and then hit your spaces hot key to move it to the other space. then open up another copy of wow, and repeat for all the copies of wow that you have.

i've 5-boxed on my MacbookPro in fullscreen with spaces. i've also used spaces on the MacPro so see if having the other windows off the screen would free up some GFX processor power (didnt help that much BTW)


my "copywow.sh" file; this will take my 1 wow install, and make it into a 5-Wow Symlinked install. (there will be 4 more wow directories, inside your main wow directory in this example) you can change p1="/Applications" and it will put them along side your wow directory instead of inside.


#!/bin/sh
p1="/Applications/World of Warcraft"
p2=$p1/WoWCopy
mkdir "$p2"
ln -s "$p1/Data" "$p2/Data"
cp "$p1/realmlist.wtf" "$p2/realmlist.wtf"
ditto -X "$p1/World of Warcraft.app" "$p2/World of Warcraft.app"
p3=$p1/WoWCopy2
mkdir "$p3"
ln -s "$p1/Data" "$p3/Data"
cp "$p1/realmlist.wtf" "$p3/realmlist.wtf"
ditto -X "$p1/World of Warcraft.app" "$p3/World of Warcraft.app"
p4=$p1/WoWCopy3
mkdir "$p4"
ln -s "$p1/Data" "$p4/Data"
cp "$p1/realmlist.wtf" "$p4/realmlist.wtf"
ditto -X "$p1/World of Warcraft.app" "$p4/World of Warcraft.app"
p5=$p1/WoWCopy4
mkdir "$p5"
ln -s "$p1/Data" "$p5/Data"
cp "$p1/realmlist.wtf" "$p5/realmlist.wtf"
ditto -X "$p1/World of Warcraft.app" "$p5/World of Warcraft.app"
