Hi Vicker,

it would be handy to know the specs of your machine(s). The most dramatic change I've seen to performance was a change I made over the weekend. I'd noticed that I was getting a lot of runaways once entering outland and that zone load times were very slow, even leaving a flightpoint was ridiculous and video was jarred. 4fps in Shattrath >.< My setup at that time was 1 high end pc Q6600 etc with a separate directory for each of my 5 instances. I changed that to have 4 instances using 1 directory on a physically separate drive and ran my main on a drive by itself. The difference in performance blew me away, it was like having a new pc. Instant loads into instances, instant leaving and arriving at FPs (I use the multiboxing addon where everyone flies at the same time) and a healthy rates in shatt (i didnt check the fr but my guys were no longer being left behind). My clones now fire at EXACTLY the same time - gotta love that.

Another change to make is wind down the graphics of your clones to a bare minimum and turn everything off, turn off the sound as you dont really need it, leave your main as is. If you're running a quad core then make sure you're using all the cores just not the first 2 which is the windows default with wow.

Hope this helps
