SSS

Version: 0.1

by: Shirik, Seerah, Shadowed

April Fools!
Hope every one had a good time.

WoWInterface's first official addon!

SSS is designed to improve the efficiency of all addons by replacing several core functions of Lua by more efficient versions which are optimized specifically for WoW development. Straight from the website you know and love, authored by our very own Seerah, Shadowed, Shirik.

This addon provides the following enhancements to boost framerate, minimize CPU consumption, and manage memory more efficiently:

We compressed SendAddonMessage to help with bandwidth.

We replaced string.match with a much more efficient approximation. Because it's an approximation, it's not entirely accurate, but it turns out that most addons are over-specific in what they look for and our version works very well and is much faster.

We also take over garbage collection entirely. Rather than consistently collecting garbage, we garbage collect only when necessary for memory or when framerate is excessively high, allowing minimization of CPU expenditure for this task.

We modified several internal functions to request less CPU time and memory so that it can instead be deferred to the graphics engine.

Please note that we are still having some taint issues with this addon, but didn't want this to hold up the release. We are actively trying to resolve this issue. The taint issues are minor, so it shouldn't impact your daily routine.

EDIT: Actually a nice addon. If you change line 59 to " ratek = 4;" then you gain even more FPS.

Just choose the "ignore" option, that's the minor taint issue we commented on in the description:

O_O

I did something similar for the ActionButtons by rewriting the ActionButtonOnUpdate func. Used this in rActionButtonStyler.

Makes a huge difference if the 120 buttons do not get updated every 0.2 seconds.

http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...L/UIParent.lua

TOOLTIP_UPDATE_TIME = 0.2;

http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...tionButton.lua

The RangeCheck is a FPS-leecher aswell imo.

then keep the warning onscreen :P don't press any of the scary buttons and that way you'll get used to the warning floating there :P

anyways, excellent work S, S and S ^^ but isn't there anything to for example kill the window on esc press? like build in a function like:

"if esc is pressed = kill error message"

or

a function to not let the warning window be seen on screen at all:

"hide ... window"

(i'm no addon author/coder/whatsoever so don't blame for simplistic function :P)

I used 8, now I feel like I'm on ecstasy. Whoever made this addon is a f*ing genius

GeForce 260 Core 216 on a Samsung 215TW. 1680*1050 at 60hz. Since the maximum fps I seem to get without vsync is 169, the 84 would be exactly half (rounded down).
