I found this while rummaging through the official tech support forums. Apparently Blizz put a new experimental code in 1.9.3 that uses a different "rendering strategy" while in crowded areas to try and cut down on lag. Although the post is in the Mac tech forum the code is present in all clients.
To enable this code you have to manually edit your Config.wtf file to add the line:
SET M2Faster "1"
From my experience it seems to help reduce the massive hiccup I usually have when entering in Orgrimmar by a noticeable amount.
Quote:In tests internally, in the most crowded times of Ironforge, we would see frame rate benefits anywhere from zero to 30%, depending on which OS, CPU, and GPU brand were in use, and on the contents of the scene. One GPU brand responds somewhat more dramatically than others in our tests.
