Addons and latency

Ok, let's make a summary of things I discovered in the last few days...

Trying to figure out WHY the game is lagging like hell, and after
checking the connection with the server (it reported a good response
time, after all) I started removing all my addons and the usual WDB/WTF
folders, and so on. Just because the problem HAS to be in my game.

After enabling again the addons, one after another, I discovered that
CT_BottomBar and CT_BarMod introduce HEAVY latency in my game: I jump
from 13 ms (without them) to more than 230 ms (increasing over time).
Moreover, it seems that lag is involved in EVERY addon that "moves" or
"customizes" the Action Bar and/or the Unit Frames.

This is really sad.

Now, after months of playing, I'm pretty used to have "customized"
Action Bars, Unit Frames, and the way it shows me if my target is out
of range, and so on.
But, if the CT team can't optimize his addons, I have to find another
solution.

So... Suggestions? What could I use to customize Unit Frames and Action
Bars, without having to play with incredible latency and lag?

Anyone with experience in really "light" addons? I don't want to loose
FPS anymore...

Bye and thanks,

Woha, really interesting.

Considered that 85% of my addons are ACE mods, I'll make the last step
and I'll try Bongos and Sage, then I'll post any result. And maybe my
memory usage will drop from 65 MB Thx a lot.

> FPS (frames per second) and latency is not the same thing.

Yes, I know (after all, I'm a technician) but they are related each
other, in some way I still haven't discovered.

It's just like... If an addon eats your processor time and stucks in a
loop, the game is no more able to contact the server as needed.

It's strange, but when I have 350 ms latency, my FPS drop to 12 and
when latency is just 30 ms, OPS, 24 FPS. Strange, don't you think?

> If you want high FPS and many addons buy a fast PC

Agree. My notebook is a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 with a Radeon X600 graphic
board. It's a powerful PC: I played Half-Life 2 at max resolution, with
no less than 80 FPS. So, it's not a slow PC.
And, I started playing WoW at 1400x900 with 35 FPS, now I had to switch
to 1024x768 with 20 FPS.

Really sad...

Anyway, thx for the help
