Multi Core Client Bug and how to fix it 27% BOOST
Hello I have noticed that wow.exe is not using more than 2 cores (in my situation this is 1 real +1 virtual) its dramatically affects the performance of game

go to your WTF folder and edit with notepad Config.wtf adding on the bottom this setting:
Optimal Settings for Multi-core Processors:
AUTO:
SET processAffinityMask "0" (or just DELETE entry)
2-cores: 11
SET processAffinityMask "3"
2-cores+virtual: 1010
SET processAffinityMask "5"
4-cores: 1111
SET processAffinityMask "15"
4-cores+virutal: 10101010
SET processAffinityMask "85"
8-cores: 11111111
SET processAffinityMask "255"
