Already tried that without success. But your previous proposal seems to work out so far.

Currently the best practice for doing nameplates is doing sth like this:
[...]
Basically you move all your visible nameplate elements to a new nameplate object and you hide that nameplate object each frame before applying a setpoint. So basically the object points change while being hidden. The fps gain is incredible.

Elv UI integrated that concept into the new nameplates aswell.
I read the thread but it didn't make much sense to me as I hadn't noticed any lag. I'll do a molten core run and try to verify your results.

Edit: I have a 4 fps drop. From 107 to 103.
