Please, excuse me for my ignorance, but isn't hard drive access or database sizes issues which can affect performance? I really don't know enough about the topic, but I'd like to know more.Quote:

I'm no lua expert, but I think I read somewhere that it has to do with the way the frames is updated (and how frequent it does this).
This is an good example of addons being lightweight in the memory department, but using quite a lot of CPUtime.
AddonProfiler appears to be broken... for any reason it does not show anything. Tried different time frames, different scenarios (e.g. ooc, infight, party, raid, pvp) but after the testing period there are only "--". Need help
The same goes for any addon putting anything on the action buttons AFAIK. I remember seeing OmniCC take up a lot of CPU time too in my tests with Bartender4 for the bars. Nothing which kills FPS, and I believe people when they say there's nothing they can truly do about it - I just suspect the buttons are programmed in a weird way.Quote:

Badly coded addons are a concern. Don't use unmaintained fringe nonsense. Don't have unnecessary addons loaded for critical things like raiding.
Unload addons with option house:

Use addonswitcher to change profiles quickly:

Get dynperf if you have fps issues:

Buy a decent SSD if you are thinking of spending money. Yes, it will let you visit Dalaran without being horrified by the lag.
Addon memory used to cause lag (Vanilla WoW era). The Lua scripting system would garbage collect (GC) addon memory, every once in a while go through everything stored in addon variables and check to see if it was still being used. If not, it would clear out the space for future use. With lots of addons using lots of memory, this took a noticeable amount of time and showed up as brief lag. Lag in the middle of Blackwing Lair was bad. I even had an addon that would trigger GC that I would run before combat. TBC introduced a new continuous GC process that broke the job into small bits so you never saw noticeable lag from GC. Unfortunately the myth persists that addon memory = lag and people to this day use that as a measure of quality of an addon.
That isn't to say that addons won't cause lag and many posters in this thread have already pointed out some that do. Any addon that looks at incoming combat messages will slow down in AoE. Addons that try to do big chunks of work every frame drawn on screen will also cause framerate issues. Addons that try to communicate with other people running the same addon can also cause issues.
The above mentioned OptionHouse will also profile addons for CPU usage, you may want to try that to see which addons might be impacting framerate.
The garbage collection slowdown was notorious back in the day for sure. Ultimately, though, that was a limitation of the Lua 5.0 interpreter that was in use at the time, and not necessarily the fault of addons. Even very well-written addons that had high memory useage were subject to this problem. It wasn't until the patch where the client was changed for TBC to have the newer Lua 5.1 interpreter built in that the problem really went away.Quote:
