The way I got Dalaran smooth is:

After 2 years of boxing, I finally made 2 seperate WoW folders.

1 folder with a WoWclient that has high gfx settings in WoW.
1 folder with the lowest gfx settings possible.

My main shaman uses the one with high settings, and the other 3 use the clients with the absolute minimum settings.

I play 4 clients on 1 comp, 4gb memory and a 8800gt 768mb vid card.

My experience with Dalaran is wierd - the first time I went with 3, I DC'ed on two accounts, just loading it.

The second, I got in, but moving was impossible. Hearthed out one at a time.

Now, I can go, and it takes about a minute or two to settle out, then it's fine. Occasional blips as I move around, but it's not that bad. 20-30fps on all clients. Slightly better performance when my toons enter shops or the bank. My habit is to park the toons at the bank, and run each one to the trainers or whatever they need to do. This is during peak hours, I was in Dalaran last night at 8pm Pacific, and the place was packed.

I'm also not running many addons, especially auctioneer, or gatherer - while they're nice, they degrade your performance. When I start farming for mats, and playing the AH, I'll turn them back on.
