FPS Issue

This is the same issue I get. In fact it is one of only two issues I have. Everything else runs perfectly. No errors whatsoever. Oddly enough it does not seem to matter what modules I have active. The problem arises as soon as the map starts tracking your location. When I initially log in and have not moved my character yet, and the map is just showing whatever it's starting position is, my frame rate is great. But as soon as I take a step and the map starts tracking my position, BOOM, 60-80 fps drop. Combine that with the lag and fps drop from quest objective and progress changes and in my case you're talking about a 100 +/- fps loss. The questing part doesn't bother me as there are several useful but much less desirable alternatives available until the quest tracker is sorted out. I will say that the fps drop is much greater in all parts of Draenor than the rest of the world. My experience has been 20-30 fps drop in most of the old world. Static buildings also seem to give a boost when inside them, but I think that is just from reduced overhead in the game itself. So yeah. That's my two cents thrown into the mix.

And as always, a big thanks to you guys (and gals?) for all the work and effort going into this project to make the best addon in WOW even better.
