Hrm... Try making a new character with the same "character"... lol that sounds dumb... but I'm sure you know what I mean. Make a new character and see if it happens on that character as well.

It doesn't ... I actually removed the library quite a long time ago, and it was never embeded to begin with so, not threat plates that's causing your spam :P if you're getting any.

Once combat drops it slips back down in usage to just under 1mb and forcing a GC makes it go back to what it was at idle.

NB. Using Tidy Plates 5.9.5 and ThreatPlates 2.2
The mouse over threat feature is generally whats causing it. I'm looking into a way to prevent it from being used while it's "disabled".

I also have noticed a HUGE increase in CPU usage from Tidy Plates. Not sure exactly why it's using so much at times.

Is there a way to set it as the default setting for tidy plates?

Edit: Just installed the new version and I get the login window which asks me to reloadUI and add threatplates etc etc. Well i get it on every reload and still the only way to turn on threatplates is by applying them from the interface options each time i log in.
What OS are you running on?

I've also observed this issue on the default Blizzard nameplates, so it may not be easily remedied.
