Ziibi,
I wouldn’t worry about this being a problem with your set up. It is 99% mostly likely not, and adjustments you make probably aren’t going to resolve anything for you.

It doesn’t matter where I am in game or if I’m running addons or not.
I’m generally sitting at around 100fps in most areas however the game will randomly freeze and drop to 1 or 2 frames per second then freeze for a good few seconds before slowly getting back to normal.
