High FPS, low game preformance?

While using my macbook pro (Apparently a really good graphics card, but I'm not very tech savvy so I don't know what it is), I almost always run from 55 - 60 FPS. But for some reason in game, my game will completely freeze for a second or two. It will happen every maybe 5 seconds, and can cause me a lot of trouble. I just don't under stand why it does this. Also, I swap between my desktop PC and laptop quite often, and even though my PC runs at a lower frame rate, it doesn't freeze.


In my "About This Mac" it says this (If this is important at all >.<)

Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Startup Disk Macintosh HD.



Thanks =)

Hello Silentmyst,


Sounds like a lag issue, basically the time it takes from when you press a keyboard command like "w" and finally see your toon move forward. Do me a favor and delete the Cache Æ’older in the World of Warcraft Æ’older and let's take it from there. The Cache Æ’older stores old temp files but when those files get very old they might have issues syncing with new data, like right after the weekly maintenance.

Hello Silentmyst,


The thing is, if the memory would be the issue, or lack there of, you should have more freezing in Dalaran, but that brings up a good point, how much hard drive space do you have left on your hard drive ? Also are you running the game from your internal hard drive or an external one ? Also at what temperature are you running your Mac ?
