General note, if I don't comment about your UI in this thread, it's 99% likely that I was following the old "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" mantra, and there was nothing I remotely liked about your UI. Please don't PM me asking me to critique your UI. I'm not running a "service".

My site is set up to not allow other sites to directly link to the images. In order to show my ui I need to either link to my site or upload to Photobucket.
The UI uses a fairly small amount of memory (if i take away AtlasLoot and BigWigs, it uses like 3mb).
Your UI is using 23.5 MB (the first screenshot), if AtlasLoot and BigWigs make up for 20MB there's something seriously wrong. But I assume based on your statement you use embedded libraries. When you remove AtlasLoot and BigWigs, you'd most likely shave off only about 2/3MB tops. The libraries from AL and BW are used by the rest of your UI.

Those 23 MB include ~12 MB from Blizzards folders. And atlasLoot with all modules running takes about 5 MB alone :)
Me like, it's similar to what I have set up for my new hunter I've been playing with. My version 10.4 will be out soon... I'll have a screen later this week when i get home.
I play in 1920x1200, so things might not be as small as they look :)
It puzzles me that as a warlock you feel the need to pollute Grid with the notoriously bad (as in prone to conflicting with other plugins, and prone to causing massive performance issues) and totally unnecessary-for-any-class mana bars plugin.

Got a bunch of requests so uploaded my latest UI:
Yet another indistinct pixel font with a non-matching chat font. :(

I stand by my original statement. I've posted about it numerous times in other threads; mana bars on Grid are pointless clutter. The low mana threshold indicator is all you need, regardless of your class. I play a restoration shaman, so I set the threshold to 50%; when I see enough blue borders in my group, I know I can cast Mana Tide and not be wasting it. For a druid, set your threshold to something much lower, like 20%; when you see blue borders, you'll know those people are able to fully benefit from an Innervate. There's no more information that a full, screen-space-wasting bar can give you that you need.

Although I find pixel fonts a great space saver and very readable as a highlighting font, I find it equally terrible for a full mass of text. But I do agree that the one I have right now might not be the prettiest one you could find. Any suggestions on a good san-serif type which could work better? :)
[Edit] Just as a side note, in this case the pixel fonts aren't really a fashion statement, rather a necessity. 1280x800 resolution on a 12" screen really sucks for regular font readability imo >.>

I only use MyriadPro and a pixelfont in my UI so I can't really comment on a better san-serif font, but I can offer a few pixelfont suggestions. I use uni05_53 as my pixelfont and find it to be not quite as "generic" as most. I also like Nokia Cellphone (which I discovered thanks to Lyn) for a bold pixelfont.

Oh, I completely agree. I just wanted to pretend to be high and mighty :/
EDIT: Question for Carrot's UI: where do your player's, target's and focus's cast bars go?
Mine is below my character, target is above my character (where the target usually stands), and focus is to the right (but smaller). I don't really use focus that much (even tho i probably should), so i haven't found a better place to put it.
Edit:
I'm open to suggestions :) Anyway, I like having all the unit frames like that, because it makes it very easy to see how much health/mana i have compared to my target or ToT. I tried the usual setup with one on each side of the character, but can't seem to get used to it.
Edit2:
And I agree that the grid manabars could go away. Gonna try that the next time i raid :)

I used GridManaBars, ditched it thanks to Phanx, it's handier than the manabars. Simple: Blue box == low mana. For me that is. It depends on how you set it up.
Add "" target="" data-ensure-absolute>www.wowace.com" to the list of allowed "direct link" hosts in your .htaccess.

I use a pixel font on my chattabs, but that's it. I thought it was sleek looking :P

Me thinks Phanx is getting a phan club.

ToT is between player frame and target frame. "castbar style" (behind the unitframe) inspired/copied by duke (i think ;)).
