Thumbs up FPS and Smoothness more telling than CPU use?

My pc is 5 years old and not top of the line, so when I first started playing, my cpu use was high, and my frames per second were low, and sometimes the screen would get jerky or stutter on frames.

I tried analyzing various addons using cpu and memory meters, but that never really seemed very productive.

I found the most productive thing to focus on is simply frames per second and how smooth action looks on screen. Total frames per second seems most limited by high graphic options. I run high graphic options when playing solo and exploring, but always go minimum graphic options when running dungeons etc.

In my experience lags, short pauses, and generally jerky game play shows up when I have addons running that load up the cpu and memory.

What determines the best performance on your PC?

What things have you done to keep good frame rate and smoothness?
