In my experience these files don't get any activity while a character is 
being played.  That is, only a "/console reloadui" or a character logout 
will save anything.  A crash will result in no updates from that session 
to any mod configuration, Gatherer or MobInfo data, or players put on 
KOS lists.  I can't see how TimeMachine on the WoW folder would impact 
frame rates.
