Low framerates since 2.4?

[Dorffo]

Certain particle effects maybe seem to have changed with 2.4. I have had occasional but not reproducible issues where Elemental totems x4 would cause my main system (only running one client at mid settings) to just ocmpletely screen "freeze" for a second or two, first time it happend i thought the system had locked up completely.

haven't been able to consistently reproduce the issue, but have had it pop up in battlegrounds and in Steamvaults / Slavepens (times in instances there were no elemental totems dropped... I think it just has to do with the environment effects in those areas?)

On a semi-related note :: I picked up 5x frostwolf mounts with spare AV tokens, and my screen lag dropped significantly compared to multiple Kodo mounts on screen... I was pretty pleased about that.

I've only had it happen once so far, but on exiting Galv's room in AV, I had the fps on my main screen drop down rapidly, all the way down to 0 fps, and then stay there while my slaves got chewed up by the alliance. To fix it, I closed one of the WoW.exe processes from task manager, then started it again from the Keyclone command. Everything worked find from there after I logged back in, but I'm still confused about what prompted it. I didn't have any totems down, and there wasn't combat or AoE effects going on around me.
