First of all - thank you Blizzard for fixing the graphics lag in there, we can fully enjoy the intense and fun encounter...
And I'm scared to post this because I'm afraid it is not intended, but...
Vael has like 1/4 his old HP!

It wasn't graphics lag... the renderer was basically untouched with the exception of the new spell-detail slider.

various excesses involving our own UI / Lua code as well as usage of our Lua infrastructure by addons.
There are things that happen during big AoE or multiple-victim attacks where blizzards of individual damage/health messages are being sent down to the client in regards to various characters in the world, and in some cases these were leading to excessive trips in and out of the Lua interpreter.
The dev team came up with ways to short-circuit and optimize a lot of this processing from the C++ side and avoid script execution overhead. (hi Slouken!)
The combat log and general scrollable-view handling has been tuned up as well - keeping the combat log hidden can gain you some FPS in these situations where many many damage reports are spewing into the log.
(edit: regarding the HP issue, I don't have any info on that, sorry)[ post edited by tigerclaw ]

Q u o t e:
It was LUA issues most of it I thought and not actual graphical issues on Vael?
That's correct - and it should be emphasized that some of these issues were in effect whether you were using any UI add-ons or not (example, combat log overhead)
