So I didn't get to play in all the new 4.2 goodness last night. I downloaded the patch, updated all my addons, logged in, logged back out, enabled out-of-date addons, logged back in, picked up the quests from the Hero's Call Board and Naraat the Earthspeaker, and took the portal to Hyjal...
...where my game promptly slowed down to approximately 1 frame every 10 seconds.
I hearthed back to Stormwind, where the lag issues persisted, though not as bad. (Which is interesting, because SW was fine before I left...no lag issues.)
I decided, rather than get in a four-way wrestling match between me, the game, my system, and the throngs of people out doing the new 4.2 content, I'd just go continue my Mass Effect replay for the night and try again today.
I must have had bad luck or bad interaction between one of my addons and...something. Because Norfin zoned into Hyjal just as I logged out and he had zero issues.
I was already committed in my mind to shooting aliens and synthetics rather than shredding elementals, so I let it go. I'll give it another try tonight.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteIt's Recount. Disable it and you should be good to go. Same thing happened to me last night. I (eventually) logged out, disabled, logged back in and everything was completely fine. Like you, this also didn't affect me until I got to Hyjal.
Thanks for the head's up. I'll disable it if there's not an update for it when I get home today.
