If you have items (or item macros) on your bars, the game client stutters/microfreezez any time you target a mob or use spells/abilities. It gets worse for every item you have on your bar.
This is happening on both live (Cata prepatch) and the Cata beta client, fresh installs with zero addons.

I’ve had the same problem since the prepatch release and couldn’t for the life of me figure out what was causing the lag. I tried disabling all addons, certain addons, nothing worked. I was honestly about to try reinstalling the whole game when I came across this post.
I have quite a few consumables, engineering activatable gear items, etc. in my bars and removing the ones that seemed relevant to this post really did the trick; I’ve gone from massive stuttering in fights to barely any noticable hickups at all
Try two things:
-
Lock fps in graphics mode
-
Disable windows game mode
-
Both 1 & 2 together
