Ever since patch 1.10, my game play has been extremely choppy. I think the reason is because of a memory leak. My framerates have been in the dumpster ever since.
Any thoughts or ideas on what I can do to minimize this problem until the patch comes through? I run a small collection of mods, I'm not sure how much system resources they use, but it's less than what I used before the patch.
In case you were wondering, I have an AMD 3700+ processor (socket 939), 1GB of OCZ RAM (2 sticks), and a Radeon 9800 Pro (128mb). I was thinking my poor old Radeon is probably a bit on the low end to run WoW like I want (full effect on, etc) but I don't see myself upgrading to a PCIe board anytime soon, and I don't know what would be a significant upgrade for an AGP card.

You could upgrade to an ATI x800 for a significant increase in video performance, but a 9800 pro will still run the game at pretty reasonable settings.
If the video is choppy as soon as you login and you have 1GB of ram, I wouldn't suspect a memory leak. Memory leaks build up slowly and would typically freeze the client after ten minutes or an hour.
Try disabling addons, making sure nothing is running in the background, and tuning down some of the more intensive video settings ingame. If that changes nothing, start looking at driver updates, spyware, antivirus, etc.

It's fine when I start unless I'm at the AH in Ironforge or something. It's even not that bad when out soloing, but it does seem to be a gradual thing.
I turned down every setting I have and it's still choppy. I'll try a driver update, I'm pretty sure mine aren't current. I think I'll also try just disabling all addons to see if that helps, but if it comes to that I might have to start pricing x800's.
