your internet connection has a minimal (if any) effect on your frame rate (it will affect how quickly the game responds to your commands, not how fast your system can churn out graphic calculations).
are you all running at the same resolution and color depth?
same antialias settings? same LOD? same draw distance? same filtering?
are you all using identical drivers for your (supposedly identical) videocard?
do you all have the same updates for your (supposedly identical) operating system?
do you all have the exact same programs running in the background when playing WoW on your (supposedly identical) computer?
are they running mods that are more CPU intensive than you are? are your interfaces all providing relatively equal function (iow, you get all the same info they do...i.e. damage/threat/healing meters, mob databases, unitframe functionality, etc etc etc)?
yeah i probably sound like an Ace fanboi, but that isn't my point. my point is that to suggest simply that by using mods built using the Ace libraries you will take a 60-80% framerate loss is at the very least a bit shortsighted.
Maybe it just because their using a silly amount of mods? Although it does tend to be silly to use Ace2 for small mods.

unless, of course, you are already loading the required libraries for other (Ace) mods you are using.
