Mods and Performance

[Mordekhuul]

I Don't know much about your minimap mod, but I found that my old one was taking up a TON of memory (chinchilla). In my search to find a new minimap mod, I went with LnS Map. It's available on wowinterface.com

You do have to edit the text file that has the parameters to 'place' your minimap on the screen, and there is some trial and error involved, but once it's in place, it has very nice functionality, and consumes less than 500kb while running.

I understand some of the mods are for tanking/rl, but here is my current ui. My onebag is covering up Omen.

My UI.

I bet memory use isn't too big a problem for me, except when the game is loading (takes forever with huge memory hogs like recount or questhelper). I really should have taken the performance hit and turned on FuBar-PerformanceFu's CPU usage tracking during our Naxx25 run last night, but I was main tanking and we were rushing a bit to see if we could clear all 4 wings in one night (fail - 4 wipes on Thaddius due to inability of a few folks to "go left when negative, go right when positive, for some bizarre reason), so I didn't want to risk dipping my FPS lower than the sometimes 5-6 FPS I was already seeing on boss fights.
