If you're still running laggy after removing/shutting off addons (and you aren't a number cruncher) turn off everything in your combat log and turn off combat text. This will sometimes help.

Like running a Linux/Vista or XP/Vista setup and playing wow on the XP or Linux partition.

Then install warcaft in the new windows. Never install anything else on the second windows installation and just use it to play warcraft. Boot from that windows, copy your war craft directory in say war craft 2. install war craft in your new windows installation, then copy everything from warcaft2 into your warcraft directory that you just installed.

I was able to correct the issue (for the most part) by disabling or completely removing all ad-ons that were installed (Cosmos-package). Usually the game would run smooth (with Cosmos) but after a short or random span of time it would seriously drag on the framerates... from 29 to like 3-4fps which is practically unplayable. Ad-Ons ftl on Vista, Low Memory, Onboard Video, driven laptops. It seems though my onboard video card wasn’t the problem.
