You can't start what has never stopped
The only issue I'm aware of is that with this client the FPS is lost quickly over time due to what I imagine is a bug or a poor graphics implementation by the original developers.
There is a workaround: Go to Options -> Graphics -> Advanced, and switch from the Graphic Engine you're currently using to a different option and back to the option you were using.
This seems to reset something in the engine which gets your FPS back to max without having to restart the client. I would also suggest almost never setting FPS to MAX unless your max FPS is really low (like 30) as in my experience the MAX setting will make you lose FPS quicker, but your experience may vary.
If you struggle with low FPS from the moment you open the client and login, then you should try out one of the other Graphic Engines other than the one you're using (DirectX5, DirectX9 or OpenGL). Again go to Options -> Graphics -> Advanced to do this.
And if that doesn't help you you might need a better or different GPU or GPU drivers.
Some people say GPU doesn't matter with the original client, but I went from max ~150 to around 600 or 800 FPS with the original client with my latest GPU upgrade.
As for smoothness, I've found in my experience that the Classic Client is actually the smooth one while OTClient has been very jittery, awkward and even glitchy in my experience.
But to compensate OTClient yields many times more FPS, has many more built-in features, is fully extensible, and the issues I just mentioned might just be an implementation detail, so they've both got their own drawbacks imho.

Do you mean with the classic client we're using right now?Don't know whether this question has been answered before. Are you working anything on the clients 'framerate problem'? Like many other retro-servers the client is 'hacking' like you got low framerate.
Hope you understand what I'm referring to.
