This is so annoying, but also realized on how much I use the map. Did I mention how annoying this is? O.o sigh…

New update, same problem! 
updated to version 9.1.0.392989 Map (M) still drop some fps, interface maps (traveling points), shop interface fixed.
Same issue here. I drop from 70+ FPS to 20-35 FPS when I open my map. Disabling/turning down all in-game graphics and disabling all add-ons doesn’t change a thing.
If I leave my map open while standing still my FPS will rise back to the mid-40s range and then randomly bounce between that and the mid-20s. If I leave my map open on a FP or while people are moving around in the background everything in that background is (as perfectly described earlier) lurching around.
Updated as well. Map FPS drops still there… now to go test to see if the quest update/progress was fixed though.
Edit: Nope! Still something wonky with the Shadowlands 9.1 Map/Quest progress.
Not sure what this update even did.
same here. it just stutters a little when I open the map or make some progress in a quest. Its annoying…

Just updated to version 9.1.0.392989. Still having the same issues.
Same here. I am glad it’s just not me, was experiencing a weird stutter and could not figure it out. Reinstalled drivers, deleted cache etc. Figured out it only happens when I have the map open, it stutters pretty consistently.
Anything to do with map, anything to do with quest and WQ progress, massive stutters. Makes the game nearly unplayable for me. GFX down to low, most addons disabled… no improvement. Every time I try to fly through a ring… stutter. Every time I go to farm a resource… stutter. Every time I kill an enemy toward a quest goal… stutter.

It’s still happening for me right now. It was temporarily fixed yesterday or the day before and now it’s back again. Tried reinstalling my map addons, turned them off. Still happening. Game freezes up a little when I open my map

I am having major screen flickering and lag with the map open as well. Hopefully Blizzard can get this fixed soon.

I too am having this exact problem on a 100% fresh machine with a new install and ZERO addons.
The description of a freeze/FPS drop when opening the world map or quest log is spot on.

Yep. Getting this bad and flickering randomly that never used to happen before. Happens with no addons loaded even. Even happens when i hover over the menu icon in the corner.

Oof this is making trying to complete any bombing run type quests (like hyphae patrol) extremely frustrating atm, since the stutter is definitely also happening any time a quest objective is completed (like killing an enemy for the quest). Impossible to target things when the game is freezing after every kill.
Just wanted to emphasize it’s definitely not just opening the map that’s causing it. Seems to be a series of different actions (opening the map, completing quest objectives, possibly zoning into new areas? I’m not sure what others people have noticed).
Also I have noticed it occurs both without any addons and also with addons that hide the default quest log, so it’s not just interaction with or updates to the on-screen quest log that cause it. Simply completing an objective/step in a quest without interaction with the log also triggers it.
