One of the raid add-ons i am currently using (BigWigs, oRA2, XRS, and Omen) makes my fps fall down to like 7-10 sometimes, while normally it's 35-68, depending on place. This does not happen all the time, only on bosses or major mob packs i think... Any ideas what's the problem?
I don't think its the addons. I turned all those off and still took an FPS hit on bosses and large packs. I really think its the dual core optimization that Blizzard put in the last patch.
As i have said, without add-ons running, i have 35-68 fps depending on the place.
ever sence blizzard put in that DAM"ED SendAddonMessage() crap i've had FPS issues with addons like recount spamming the channel like it's going out of style... and every single addon that registeres for that event has to proccess that crap that comes though...
install that one fubar addon that mesures Addon traffic... you never know till you loook.
thanks for this. i will check it out cuz as of patch 2.3 every time i or someone in my party kills something my game freezes for like 1-2 seconds. the 2 classes i play the most are Warrior and Priest and it makes my life a bit hard.
That's your computer, not wow or addons.
Switching back and forth requires your system to swap memory to and from the disk, and it will slow you down if you don't have enough physical ram or your disk is slow (and over time even with enough)
That SendAddonMessage()-stuff is really annoying. AFAIK, an addon cannot specifically retrieve only part of the spam? :/
Because what we need is as way so that the incoming spam doesn't have to run through the 80+ addons I might be running, but only goes into those which specifically asked for the specific message's prefix.

AceComm is the only way to do this at the moment. If 10 addons register to AceComm, only AceComm (and not the 10 addons) specifically listens to all the traffic and parses out each one to send to the appropriate addon.
i.e AceComm is the "centralised" location which should have been in the default WoW implementation in the first place.
To spread the word: Quixote got some updates. It's now less promiscuous.
(I hadn't been raiding, and had mostly been grouping with people who use it, so I wasn't seeing the problem. The problem would show up because it would keep asking for quests from people who didn't have Quixote.)

Glad to hear that :)

Same for me.... which is weird because i dont have questsfu installed at all :o
Is there another add-on impersonating "QuestsFu" id via AceComm ?
The Quixote lib does the broadcasting for QuestsFu, so if you have another addon using that lib (e.g. nQuestLog) it will use the same prefix.
i have nquestlog indeed, so this explains the traffic.
The spam generated by the quixote lib is incredibly high...
It's why I had to drop nQL, though I miss it - I miss the collapse when zoning. Try UberQuest.
IE6 in the background.
I minimize wow for a few minutes, then come back.
my fps will be a good 10 fps lower.
i can repeat that a few times, and i'll be bogged down to 2-3 fps eventually.

I find that I get a fair sized chunk of spam when I join a raid or something, but over time it doesn't generate much more.
So while at the start of the raid I'll have the highest spam total, by the end of it I have far and away the lowest.
