Paladin Advanced Toolkit

1.7: Performance Update

Everything new since 1.6.

Performance

• Much lighter: the addon now creates around 90% less memory garbage while you play, so its memory use stays flat instead of climbing, and the game spends less time cleaning up after it.
• Buffs: read once when they change and shared by every part of the addon, instead of each part re-reading them several times a second.
• Cooldowns: only re-read when the game says they've changed.
• Group blessing check: only looks at the buffs you cast, and only re-checks people whose buffs changed. In a 25-player raid that's about 95% less work. It does nothing at all while hidden or switched off.
• Action bar glows: your buttons are only re-checked when a glow could actually change (a spell becoming ready, or your bars changing), instead of every button five times a second. Learning a new spell or rank no longer makes it look through all your bars again.
• Timer text on the bars and icons is only updated when the number on screen changes.
