Anyone familiar with fraps?

I've always used fraps to record game footage but these days, for some reason I can't get it to work properly.  I turn on fraps and the framerate gets so bad the game is unplayable.  (one of the reasons I haven't done vids recently)

Same games, nothing has really changed about this computer so I really don't know what's going wrong.  Anyone have advice?

I don't know much about FRAPS, but this might help.

I noticed that the next content patch for WoW is coming up shortly.  The download for that seems to have done in my framerate in some circumstances.

Nah, this has been a problem for a while.  Started back when I was trying to record for those Super Skyrim Bros vids.
