I've seen single digit frame rates in Wintergrasp. Every other app on the system was fully responsive. I think I may have even been watching a Divx at one point. I'm not preparred to spend the money to improve my machine to chase after faster WG fps. I'm sure my system isn't perfect, nor is it the best there is, but my main point is the disparity I see in performance between normal usage and Wintergrasp.

I think you can improve your performance, but if you are aiming for a lag free Wintergrasp, you may be chasing after something that you won't attain very easily or cheaply.

During this fight I dropped down to almost 2 fps. Here I'm around 9. There were at least two 40 man raids ally side, and we had tenacity. That's a lot of people generating combat log entries.
