    Try the testing with a CPU profiling utility such as OptionHouse or Addon Profiler. Enable CPU profiling through one of them and relog. Then see how much Cartographer (and/or its modules) use. And make sure it (and its modules included with v2.5.6) is the only mod you are running. Make sure to disable CPU profiling after testing.

    Because I can't duplicate your issue.

    It is Cartograhper... I disabled all mods then added each one back. Cartographer gave me on average 13 FPS when enabled in Dalaran, then I got 50 FPS when it was disabled.

    Untill they fix cartographer I am keeping it off

    Its not Cartographer, at least if you are using only the latest version here (r2329) and not some obsolete addon module for it. Have extensively tested it; it uses very little CPU.

    Its almost certainly QuestHelper (or PallyPower or Healbot or one of your FuBar plugins). QuestHelper uses more CPU time than just about any mod out there, which can have a direct affect on your frame rates. You can adjust the CPU QuestHelper uses via a command line command, but even at "low" levels, it still sucks down a lot.
