"This error message is likely a way for Blizzard to keep from crashing the instance servers -- if too many instances of a dungeon have already been created, new players trying to get in are not allowed."

Right before Wrath went live, this was happening quite a bit on high-pop servers in Old World dungeons/raids. Quite a few times, when trying to down Ony or head into ZG, groups I was in wouldn't be allowed in :(

As of late, I have been getting a lot of lag and crashing in Naxx 10/25. With the raids being tuned down a bit, in comparison to previous raid content, so many people are hitting Naxx at one time, it seems to be stressing the servers quite a bit. Blizzard is hopeful that this will be resolved, and it will be very nice when it is. While it's a little frustrating, it's not game breaking for me because I know Blizzard will get this fixed. It does get a little frustrating though; pugging healers and then getting beat down by lag is frustrating.

I had the same problem too. I also lagged like a fat lady trying to walk up the CN Tower any time I tried to log in/out or just walk around in Dalaran. Try defragmenting your computer, removing unwanted programs, and deleting old unnecessary files. :)
