Okay guys, our Community team has begun requesting information regarding the most recent round of optimizations that have been implemented!
You can find that thread here:

Q u o t e:
In our continuing effort to improve the gameplay experience for our players, we’ve recently made optimizations, specifically to Naxxramas performance, based on feedback from players. With these changes, we are carefully monitoring server performance to gauge the change’s success. In addition to that, we would very much like to hear our players' personal experience in Naxxramas this week. We are asking players to post your feedback in terms of what if any changes in performance you’ve noticed in Naxxramas. Please make sure to include the realm you play on and the time frame you were participating in Naxxramas.
Please post your feedback there. You can use the following format (and as always, you can find your battlegroup here (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds/battlegroups/index.html):

As a note for players on Emberstorm and Whirlwind, this was recently posted on our General Forum by Zarhym.
How much this will impact raid performance itself is yet to be seen. In any case, I thought it would be of keen interest to raiders on those battlegroups:

Q u o t e:
We recently identified and isolated an issue impacting the performance of realms on the Emberstorm and Whirlwind battlegroups. We want to inform players on these realms that this issue has been resolved, and you should expect to see better performance and stability in game.

Okay, it's rather clear at this point that many raids are still suffering latency that is as severe, if not more severe than what was occurring previously.
For that, you have my heartfelt apologies.
On the other hand, a small handful of posters have reported dramatically improved conditions. I'd like to see where the most severe issues are occurring, as well as which raids seem to have improved.
If you are no longer experiencing major latency in raiding, please report your realm and battlegroup (to find out which battlegroup you are in, you can go here (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds/battlegroups/index.html):
Realm:
Battlegroup:
Approximate raid time:
No/Little Latency: Brief description of conditions
For the majority of you that still seem to be experiencing heightened latency, please report in the following format:
Realm:
Battlegroup:
Approximate raid time:
Latency: Brief description of conditions
At this point, I am trying to determine if improved conditions are related to realm, battlegroup or raid time frame factors. I will be forwarding the information I gather here as I have previously.
