Yeah, me too.  I have the 20" iMac which was the top of the line of
the first of the intel machines.  It used to run great but the
performance has steadily been declining since I bought it.  I've tried
the Windows solution of an OS re-install but that made no difference
at all (and obviously wouldn't help you either).

It took a noticable hit in performance when I went to Leopard
(although it did look nicer on the same settings).  One of the latest
OS patches was rumoured to improve wow performance (as noted on WOW
Insider) but I didn't see any improvement.
