SpamBayes is born for you

A lightweight Data Broker plugin to visualize AddOn CPU/Memory usage, Framerate and Latency

New Now uses a dropdown menu by Blizzard instead of dewdrop
New For 2011, I'm revisiting the addon to correct known problems, improve the code and make use of resources to a bare minimum
Automatic tooltip actualisation w/ configurable thresholds
Can use a simple GameTooltip or advanced LibQTip
No required librairies, they are just enhancements
Can force to not use a library if it's detected but not needed
Developed in order to use the bare minimum of cpu and memory
Improved reading of data, you find a look addons assets and bad boys
Garbage collect, detachable tooltip and more...
Optionally you can:
Install LibQTip for cpudiff, memorydiff, icons columns & a cleaner tooltip
Install LibDBIcon for a minimap icon
The mod also supports AddonLoader

Usages:
Type /cpu, /brokercpu or /broker_cpu to show usage (or click the button with Broker bars)

Helps/Tips:

s/ms
a value representing the access time to processor since you entered the world or a reloadui
KB/MB/Ko/Mo
a value representing the current amount of memory used
But don't focalize on addons using a high number of memory, the screenshot of Carbonite vs QuestHelper shows you why, while Carbonite allocates more memory it has a tiny memory garbage creation and less cpu usage than QuestHelper that allocates less memory but has an horrible garbage creation, Carbonite shows a better control on performance than QuestHelper which increases the client's job to collect garbage memory and if you're experiencing freezing problems ingame you may look at an alternative to such bad boys, this is why it is useless to color gradient the amount of memory because you will just get an unreadable rainbow, the mod rather gradient the next % value explained below which is the most important)
%
a value representing the difference between the old and current usage / 10
Like a speed meter you can use to compare X versus Y plugin, to check how performs your code, etc... if your mod goes red here, it most likely sucks hard!

BrokerCPU works with most LDB display, for a complete list see here
CPU profiling which is by default to OFF in the Blizzard client should remain OFF when you don't need it
Prefer the use of standalone libraries so BrokerCPU can report usage from addons and libraries separately, to do so follow these tips:

You just install a standalone library like any other addon in the same Interface\AddOns\ folder
The library must have a .toc file and the library folder must have the same name than the .toc file, example with DewdropLib the path should looks like Interface\AddOns\DewdropLib\DewdropLib.toc
Then the longuest part is to remove the library you just installed in standalone from every addon you use that could embed it, then you are sure that only the standalone library is called and the consumed resources are correctly belonging to it.
Some libraries are NOT to dis-embed, so if do you see the most popular embeds LibDataBroker, AceLibrary, LibStub, CallBackHandler, just leave them embedded, they are not designed to be standalone (If a library does not provide a .toc file it's not designed to be standalone)

Bugs/Suggestions:
Must be reported in a Curseforge ticket, comments won't be considered for these types of requests
And remember to post as much informations possible

Message:
- hooks to forbid critical APIs down to only one; ResetCPUUsage(), which seems the only one causing problems
- the hook warning is now moved after the call of the function so you don't get a warning if the mod hasn't called it
- introducing customizable decimals, you can now choose from 0 to 3 decimals for all 4 columns (has an impact on resources usage)
- LibQTip cpu usages significantly reduced, now before using SetCell the mod checks if the string has changed
- the maximum columns used by LibQTip is down from 11 to 8
- paddings are not more string based, they are done with a minWidth through LibQTip
- fixed a memory sorting mistake with GameTooltip and cpu profiling enabled
- fixed important memory garbage creation with arrow icons, they are now performing better
- GameTooltip values are now colored ala LibQTip
- addon names an rank are now colored for both Tips
- fixed mistakes in the code profiler in-code-comments
- issue a warning if cpu profiling is enabled on enter world or reloadui because people could wrongly think this is a feature provided by BrokerCPU instead of Blizzard

tobindax A Cyclonian Forum posts: 43 File comments: 17 Uploads: 2	A lot of addon authors report that the API this addon is based on is unreliable (when I report to them their addon was reported too high), however it must be at least partially reliable since I saw tangible results: e.g. Recount gave noticeable FPS increases when it was replaced by tinyDPS based on info from this Addon, or I identified that dynamically created groups in aura addons have extremely high CPU usage compared to static groups and one can not see it only as a number on BrokerCPU but also on tangible FPS increases.

Id like to see both seperated by a slash / maybe. i.e. 100ms/300ms
