You know, up until right now, I hadn't considered that to be my issue in WoW. (With the release of 4.0.1 my performance dropped severely, and I couldn't figure out why. My Config.wtf is editted to have a higher max cam distance.) So thank you :P
For me personally, a lightweight addon is an addon that does no more than what I wanted, and do it efficiently, even though they may use a lot of static memory. Eg. my Actionator uses a good deal of memory, but it's only loaded on my AHMule, so it doesn't bother me.
