Performance & Stability Update

Performance Improvements:

  • Reduced overall CPU usage during range checking.
  • Avoids unnecessary frame redraws by only updating the box color when the RGBA value actually changes.
  • Reduced per-update work by scanning only configured (non-empty) spell/item slots instead of all 10 every cycle.
  • Reduced redundant range-check calls by only trying item range checks when spell range checks do not succeed. 

Behavior (Preserved):

  • No change to how the range box functions or displays.
  • Same spell/item priority order (Slot 10 checked first down to Slot 1).
  • Same color behavior for in-range, out-of-range, and no-target states.
  • Same alpha multiplier behavior (including “Show box when no target” forcing visible alpha as before).
  • All profiles and per-character settings continue working as before, including the embedded Profiles UI and delete confirmation popup. 

Internal Improvements:

  • Added lightweight caching of active spell/item slots and refreshes it automatically when slots are edited or profiles are loaded/reset.
  • Localized frequently used global functions to reduce overhead in hot paths. 

No Feature Changes:

  • No UI changes.
  • No settings removed.
  • No functionality removed.
  • No behavior changes compared to the previous version. 

Summary:

Same TargetRangeBox you’re used to, with smoother performance and lower CPU usage—especially during rapid target/range changes.
