Jdtigg's UI
I have put together a simple UI Interface for the low memory / Bandwidth computers in hope to ease some of the issues with the heavy UI's out there.

V 2.0
I have made a lot of changes on this UI. Mostly I went in and played the game with the V 1.3 and saw that a lot of the modules were very memory intensive. Since this is supposed to be a “Low” memory UI, I went back and did a few re-organizing on the modules. The “Look” of it still remains intact, but below are the new Add On list for the modules in this package. Add Ons: AdvancedTradeSkillWindow – Found that the “normal” tradesikill was not up to my needs, and this seems to be the low memory / popular choice. ArcHud Auctioneer Bayi's Extended Questlog – This is still in Beta (though the current version seems to be stable and he has worked out most of the issues, though I have not error’ed out since he updated it last, good thing.) This module replaces the “Extended Quest Log” (which has not been updated lately and this mod is based upon that module). Bongos2 Bongos2 – MapBar – this one I changed because it is using the same module files as Bongos2, which lowers the memory requirements and when all set up, blends nicely into the bottom portion of the UI. Cartographer ClearFont2 CT_Mailmod – Was thinking about using BulkMail2 but stuck with this one since been using this since pretty much day one. cyCircled EQCompare – Changed to this one as the old Equipment Compare was not recently updated. FlightMap Fubar FuBar_DurabilityFu FuBar_ExperienceFu FuBar_LocationFu FuBar_MailFu – Kind of working on this one as the mail number does not really show, just it turning Green. Been keeping track on the Post out in WowAce, will updated this more when I get more info. FuBar_PerformanceFu FuBar_tTracker LightHeaded – Found this to be extremely useful in game as it mostly helps with the quest right there. It attaches nicely to the Bayi's Extended Questlog and frees up the need to alt tab to find quest information or locations. Low memory and really useful. Low Memory Chat Morganti's Buffbars – Still have not found one to replace this one. (Any suggestions would be helpful) MobInfo2 MyClock OmniCC OneBag – Switch to this rather than ArkInventory simply because Ark took up most of the addon memory (About 28). Pushed the memory up there, so changed to the Ace OneBag, Bank and Ring. OneBank OneRing ReputationMonitor Scrolling Combat Text SellFish Spam Sentry Skinner TipBuddy TomTom – For the add-on – LightHeaded. Great companion when it comes to finding your way around in game.

May I offer a couple of notes?
Have you tried replacing Auctioneer with KC_Items? KCI is still in beta, too, and Kaelten's still finishing it up whenever he gets time to work on it, but it uses TONS less memory. People with low memory would hardly have Auctioneer enabled (as Dreadlorde will attest ) - probably only when at the AH or on a mule alt. I chose to just leave it out of my compilation, and let people install it (or KCI) if they wish to use it. For AH sell data to be accurate, it needs to be scanned often - which builds up a huge database in Auctioneer. If you would like to include something for item vendor prices, I suggest SellFish or ItemPriceTooltip. (Oops - just noticed you have SellFish already. >.< ) EQCompare actually hasn't been updated in some time either, and has been considered abandoned. The best option for a compare tooltip mod is tekKompare, here on WoWI. I have never used Morganti's Buff Bars, and aren't sure how they compare to others, but you should take a look at ElkBuffBars (the new one, with an '-s' at the end). Highly customizable, can pick textures/fonts from SharedMedia, and plugs into FuBar. Just curious, but why have you chosen MyClock over ClockFu? MobInfo2 also builds up a database which can hog memory usage. IMO, the percentage of time a mob drops Runecloth isn't too worthwhile to me. (You might feel differently, though. ) I suggest just getting MobHealth. No database, just estimates health as you fight. You may already be aware of this, but make sure that CPU profiling is disabled on PerformanceFu in your config. Some people have also had frame rate issues when PerformanceFu is keeping track of individual addon usage statistics, so you can disable that option as well. Yeah, AI uses it's fair share of memory because if how it works. OneBag&co. is a good all-in-one solution, as is Bagnon here on WoWI. I've never used Reputation Monitor - what are its benefits over FactionsFu? (Just curious. ) I found myself disabling SpamSentry (and my take it out of my compilation) as I haven't been receiving any spam lately (I know other servers still have issues), and feel that it was using much more memory than necessary. LightHeaded also works with Cartographer waypoints. TomTom is a nice addon, but you could cut it out if you wished to. Just my opinions and things that I have picked up here and there. You are free to do what you wish with your UI, I just thought I'd offer a couple suggestions to try to cater a bit more to your focus of a UI for those with little memory to spare. What does this UI generally run at, anyhow? You have memory display turned off for PerformanceFu in your screenshots. |

Never heard of KC Items, but I will definitely check this out and see the difference. If it is still in Beta, will make sure I follow it and see if it will be more efficient for the AH.
EDIT: On WowACe it was updated on 8/17
I have looked at the ElkBuffBars but have not loaded it into my current UI to fully test this out to see what the results are. It does look like what I been needing in here. Maybe a change of the guard is long over due, See new update maybe for a new addition. Will have to test.
Correct, in the configuration of this PerformanceFU, the CPU Profiling is turned off by default. As for the tracking of the add-ons, it is set for me to determine what addons I need to look into as to what is taking the most. Next update will contain the .lua of this being disabled by default.
