I have noticed no performance improvement nor decrease while playing StarCraft II. However, my mouse is extremely "wonky" now during precise movements. Anybody else having this issue?

I've heard some people that had to tweak their game using the Variables.txt are having issues now because that particular application support folder seems to have gone AWOL. If anyone has seen this folder can you please report it to your nearest forum. Thank you. Have a nice day.
Noticeable slowdown
I had noticeable slow down on my 2010 2.93 i7 iMac. Before I could run with ultra high textures and the rest of the settings on high to ultra with a decent framerate. After I updated to Lion the game was unplayable, had to set everything to medium.

I played a little last night and it seemed slow to me. The game took forever to load the map and once I did start it was a little choppy. I restarted the computer and will try again today.
I did a Lion upgrade (not fresh install), and have no change in SC2 performance.
I'm on a 2011 MBP 15" 2.2ghz. It still plays great, but the inverted scrolling has given me a few hiccups!

Takes ages to load a map for me and gets a bit choppy, especially with the talking on the ship, words would hang occasionally making a repeated sound, kind of like "H-h-h-h-h-hello" etc. Ah well, new OS, little glitches are to be expected.
Mouse Acceleration?
Hey I play Starcraft 2 as well -- are you guys using a program to stop the default mouse acceleration? I was using USB OverDrive, but now that doesn't work so well for me after I updated to Lion. What program would you recommend? I can't see to find any that work.

I upgraded to Lion and since then SCII is much slower, too many lag when do macro.
On official SCII forum problem with FPS drop is for every Lion fresh or upgrade, seems like drivers are not so good as in Snow Leopard.
I hope that Apple and Blizzard will solve the problem.
It would be shame to go boot camp for one game.
Perviously I was on high detail now needed to go all low for on line play.

Actually I found significant increase in performance..
Before upgrading to Lion my SC2 performance was AWFUL in OSX..
I had to play on 1440x900 Low everything, any extra details off and portraits in 2d and only then was it playable.
Now I can play it on 1440x900 Medium with 3D Portraits and it's smooth as butter.
Specs:
2.8GHz C2D
8GB DDR3
9600GT 512MB
Corsair Force 120GB SSD + Toshiba 750GB HDD (installed on Toshiba)
I was literally shocked at how smooth it was.. must be just me?

Starcraft freezes in Lion
I've been playing a few games and 50% of them freezes and I have to hard reset / restart my computer. Anyone else has this problem? I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 17".

Hi, I'm on a Macbook Pro 15", brand new out of the box, files manually transferred. Right now, at 1680x1050 I get a 30 FPS average, with 35-40 at the mineral line and mid to low 20's during 1v1 large battles. On high, this goes to 40-50 at the mineral line, to 30-35 during big 1v1 battles. Medium I get 70-90 FPS at the mineral line, and 50-60 during big 1v1 battles. Low is not even worth talking about, triple digits are annoying. This is all at 1680x1050. I'm experiencing maybe a 3-4 FPS increase? This things gets LOUD though... ...No way around it though.
