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.

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!

mrdummy A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 31 Uploads: 0	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.

Lombra A Molten Giant Forum posts: 554 File comments: 271 Uploads: 24	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. __________________ Grab your sword and fight the Horde! Last edited by Lombra : 11-10-08 at 12:38 PM.

Zidomo A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 76 File comments: 1046 Uploads: 0	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.
