I use FoxBat's Accelerator. I have an old computer that is past the 'upgradeable' stage. Due to the financial pressures of RL, including four growing children whose needs are more important than my pleasures, it will be some time before a new computer is in my hands.
With the Accelerator in use, I can occasionally run at 15 fps. I average around 10-12 fps.
Since tripping over bunnies and getting stuck in the mud when it rains are not part of the game play, I don't believe I am getting any extra benefit from the lack of critters and weather in my games. The Accelerator removes the pretty graphics (eye candy) that delight the hearts of the very young among us, but it confers no benefit in terms of game play.
The clincher is that Blizzard agrees with me on this. :D

And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
