Warmup - Midnight - Addon Load Time Auditor

Warmup, revamped for Midnight. Track each addon's contribution to load time, and your overall client load time, charted for historical comparison.

While redoing my addons for Midnight I wanted to know how much each one added to my load time. I found that Warmup still mostly worked, so I added some basic historical charting so I could track things over time rather than manually.

Garbage Collection / GC Option

I left this option in the Addon, but defaulted to off. It may provide more interesting detail, but I found it unnecessary day to day, and it significantly increases addon load time overall. So if you do try it out, make sure to turn it off when you're done.

Color Coding

The bar chart coloring ultimately just colors the highest load time addons red, it shoudn't be used as any kind of benchmark. You need to make that judgement yourself.

Inconsistent Load Times

Over a month of using this I noticed that installing a new addon or updating it can cause the addon load time to shoot up temporarily. Other times WOW just loads more slowly, and all addons have an artificially higher load time because of it.

Deferred Load Time Addons (Misattribution)

I found one or two specific addons that deferred parts of their loading work in a way that misattributed it to the next loaded addon. So if you find a specific number that looks off, double check it by isolating that addon to ensure its load time is accurate.
