   Why is this crawling?
  Sorry for undescriptive subject. As I hope you will see this question can easily be misunderstood as coming from a kid that doesn't know anything about games or programming.In WoW, which I usually get 45-60FPS I am all of a sudden getting 30 or less FPS. I opened task manager and performance manager but everything seems normal. My CPU is only using 33% and memory about half (Vista). So why on earth would I get 7FPS?! I ran a full AVG scan and nothing.  msconfig and stopped everything and still.... crap performance. There has been no new patch to the game. I have actually been practicing with writing programs to help me play WoW so I have some feeling for what will slow the game down and what wont. Believe it or not this doesnt slow it down much:while(true){for(int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)Math.Pow(i, i)Thread.Sleep(3333); // 1/3 of a second}What does slow it down is if you take screenshots in order to monitor pixels. But all the applications that I have made are not running so there is not like some stray program that I have forgot about. I mean seriously to go from 60FPS to 7!!! something major must have changed! But I have no clue what is happening. I went to school for business programming not game programming so maybe one of you will have a better idea about what is going on.
