    Thanks for this one, was needed after the patch.
    Very small memory usage (only 2kb) and does its work perfectly. Works flawless for me.

    The addon doesn't really do that much, so anything else than minor memory usage would be bad. And its simplicity also helps keep bugs to a minimum.

    Ok, there is something good with this addon.

    I have used MonkeySpeed before, but the addon fails very bad to show correct speed. Even in latest versions it's still bugged. It can show unbelievelable speeds for example 12647%. I tried calibrate it, but it cannot keep forever and it's bugged again.

    But with SpeedyGonzales .... it works immediately and shows correct speed. Good job. i'm little surprised someone build a good working speed meter.

    I'm glad you like it.

    Old addons I think calculated your speed by seeing how fast your position on the map changes, which isn't ideal, particularly when flying. In 3.0 a GetUnitSpeed API was introduced, which indeed returns your current movement speed. So that's both much simpler to use, and should be accurate at any time!

    Can you make some extras:
    - lock the frame
    - remove border
    - smaller fonts, etc

    A bit more customizable addon, to fit better in my GUI design. I don't use borders, but i use little transparency backgrounds. Now it has thick border and i'm not sure if it's lockable.

    Thank you.

    Right, an option to lock the frame I can add, no problem. But font sizes and border I don't know about. I don't want half of the addon code being for customisation only.

    If you want to change it yourself, however, I can show you how, as soon as I release the next version. I just need to test it myself first, when I defrost my account in a few days for Northrend.

    Code:
    comments:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_COMMENT")
comments:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
	local arg1 = select(1, ...)
	PoastComment("\""..arg1.."\" is a lie!")
end)

    This used to be my favorite speed-gauge addon. Low resource usage, handled flying carpets correctly unlike a lot of mods like this. With v1.3.0, though, its got pretty bad CPU usage, whether moving or not moving.

    v1.3.0, USEng client/server, WoW 3.1.1 live. Measured with OptionlessHouse with CPU profiling enabled, when a character is not moving & idle, SpeedyGonzales eats 0.350 to 0.500 CPU/sec. Running at regular speed (100%), 0.500 to 0.600 CPU/sec.
