I'm currently freezing whenever I go into a town, there might be more adddons doing this, I'm currently checking mine for ones that do it.
Post addons here and I'll add them to the first post.
Update: Well, it's not any of the big addons like fubar, pitbull, bartender, cartographer etc
Update2: I have it down to a very few addons now, will update again when I find out what one.
Update3: Looks like it was the addon Simpleminimap.
List of addons that freeze WoW:
Simpleminimap

Please try disabling addons one by one to find the culprit, and post the one doing it here so I can add it to the first post.

My simpleminimap works flawlessly.. Outdated yes, but flawless.

I use about 50-75 addons, that could take a while.

I use simpleminimap and have experienced no problems.
I have a huge problem with Auctioneer and Druid Stats...

I have the same issue.
I deleted all Addons(/cry) and downloaded all new up-to-date Addons.
I only configured a few but I tested and I was able to Teleport to Moonglade and Hearth to Shatt w/o Freezing.
Used Link to update.
More testing scheduled for tonight.

i dont know if this helps, but if you read the chat when u log in it says to delete your wtf, and addons folder to prevent game freezes when entering the new place. May be related?

I read that the new combat log sucks resources when you zone. There is even a comment and fix from Blizzard. I will try to find it.
I wish they made the new combat log optional..

I have had the same problems with WoW freezing, but it only happened when getting summoned, or hearthing, or portals.... so I looked around on WoW's forums, and there is a blue response that Gatherer was causing the problems....
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5591100126&sid=1
But there is an update for Gatherer at www.gathereraddon.com that is supposed to solve the issue. I am at work, but will try it when I get home.

No offense, but you should more or less know what your talking about before giving advice.
Deleting your wtf folder and your add-on folder will fix add-on issues. However it does so by completely removing all your add-ons. The WTF folder is your ui settings, chat windows, icons, add-on settings etc. You delete this and most if not all your add-ons will default to the original settings. This includes your graphics, ie resolution.
The add-on folder is all your add-ons. So deleting this will remove all your add-ons. If you delete this without deleting your wtf folder you'll keep the settings but any add-ons still won't show up.
The proper advice isn't to delete your wtf and add-on folder. What you really want to do is to copy it into a backup folder. I always recommend this before logging on after a patch. Copy both the wtf and add-on folder into a backup folder. I recommend something like 'c:\wowuibackup\080328\'. So you have a backup folder with a sub-folder with the day's date. That way you can remove the wtf and add-on folders from the wow directory. This will leave you a backup of all your settings in case you need it.
Another thing I recommend is to backup your wtf and add-on folder after you installed all your preferred add-ons and set them all up how you want them. That way if something goes wrong and you lose your settings you can always copy it back over.
The reason Blizzard gives this advice is because add-ons can cause errors, crashes and other issues, all of which are out of Blizzard's control. It's the equivalent of 'reformat your hard drive'. Yes, in some cases it might be the very best thing to do. In most cases it's not.

This Q&A really should be inserted in the Forum FAQ, probably under Technical Stuff.
Well I don't use gatherer either and am still having the issue. When I get bored I am going to have to go through them...

I found a solution for this that worked in my case. The thing that was causing the problem for me is an addon library called Astrolabe. It seems to be used by a lot of addons that place markers of some sort on your map/minimap (Gatherer, WIM, TomTom, etc.).
The new version of Gatherer, 3.1.1 (there may be a newer version, I got mine last night), comes with the new version of this lib. Download that and do a search of your Addons folder and replace any instance of the Astrolabe folder with the new one from Gatherer. Worked like a charm for me.

QuestHelper also seems to be problematic for this.
