I have recorded and hosted 18 videos from the World of Warcraft Stress Test. You are welcome to view them if you would like at http://www.josaph.com - The site is nothing to write home about, but the videos are nice to watch. Each video is 30 seconds in length and a little over 3mb a piece. I did this for the users with slow internet speeds.
Please don't link directly to the videos if you wish to share. Have them visit the site is all I ask :)
--Cheers

Argh...! Would you mind posting your system specs and in-game video display settings?
I can't take a gryphon ride without horrible, gut wrenching choppiness. Your flight into Ironforge and out of Stormwind makes me cry.
I really want to know why my computer hates me.

Pentium 4 2.4GHz
1 GB 2700 DDRam
ATI Radeon 9800 256mb
60GB HD
I ran in 1280x1024 @60Hz (I think 60Hz)
Run on a 450down/50up Cable Line (comcast cable internet)
Nothing too special. I wish I had a 3.2ghz with 2 gb 3200 ddram. :D But that will have to wait.
Hope that helps.

Well this is certainly disheartening. I can only hope that the stress test server cluster is just cosmically more stable than the beta.
Here's what I'm running:
P4 2.4 (hyperthreaded)
512 PC3200 DDR
ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256
While I would love to believe that another half gig of memory would solve all of my problems, I remain pessimistic.
What about the actual video settings in the game? Where do you have detail levels and such?

I don't remember, I left them at the default the entire stress test.
A member of my guild tells me he was having the same problem with the Gryphon flights on 512mb. I would say try adding a 512 and see if that helps.

I would definitely go with more ram.
I have an Athlon XP 2600
1.5G 3200 DDRAM
ATI 9800 Pro (think only 128 tho)
I run in 1280x1024 on cable
The only big dif I see here between Josaph and me is the amount of ram and from the video, I have much smoother flow on the gryphon.
Oh I do use a raid array, but I am not sure that would have that much impact as the additional RAM might.

P4 2.53
512 DDR
Radeon 9000
The only places I really have issues with grpyhons are flying into and out of majorly populated areas. (Formerly Stormwind, now Ironforge.)

Only the exceptions can be exceptional.
I run 2GB of ram and have no problem. But my laptop with 512MB does lag and stall. As cheap as ram is, 1GB is never a bad idea.
Little ram reading for those interested. Alot of background programs chew up more ram than people realize.

(It bashed Dell a little, but that's not why I posted it.)

The worst thing Microsoft ever did was add the tray on the bottom right of the screen.
If your computer is bogging down, doesn't seem to be performing as it should, start taking programs out of there.
Did that to a roommates computer once.
At startup it would be down to 50-60% of resources before he even did anything. I cleared out a couple programs from that tray. Raised it up to 80% or so.

I run pretty much the same specs.
2.6 Ghz P4
1 Gig 3200 DDR Ram
ATI 9800 Pro Video
SATA Raid 0 2x:120 Gig Maxtor 8mb Cashe(240 GB w/raid)
I was running 1024x768 rez though, can't comment on higher rez's.
Everything was smooth as silk for me.
At this rez I was averaging 50 frames per second.
Good quality videos btw.
