Your PC will process acknowledgements faster so it will have to work a bit harder. This may produce a small drop in framerates.

Remember that Windows networks aren't designed for online games. They're designed for general desktop computing in large networks where traffic efficiency has the highest priority. In these environments, network latency isn't important at all and bundling acknowledgements together makes sense.

However, Wow players are rather unique in that they'll often use a single TCP based application (the game client) for hours at a time and they'll want to give that application priority over any other function of their PC. It's for these players that Leatrix Latency Fix is designed for.

Leatrix Latency Fix should not be installed on computers where you want to put more emphasis on network efficiency. Fortunately, this doesn't apply to most Wow players and having reduced latency is of considerably more importance.
It's definitely worth a try. If it does not work as well as you would like you can remove it very easily. I've been using it for a while and I'm satisfied.
