Along with that I'm unable to enable all my addons due to the fact that my frame rate will drop to at extremely low levels. But when I run as root (I know this is a bad idea..that's why I'm trying to fix it) I'm able to enable all 215 addons and will get latency of any were between 80ms to 180ms and a frame rate of about 40-50fps with almost everything turned to its max with the exception of shadows.
