Memory Wasting Addons

[Mimesis]

is there any addon to show how much memory each loaded addon is allocating. My KiB/s goes to 20-30 when i initiate combat, and i want to know whats causing this.

Try a mod called "Warmup". It shows the load time and memory usage of each mod individually, and all your mods as a whole. The info is sent to your combat log window when you laod the game and every time you reload UI or enter a new instance.

Warmup wouldn't help him with this specific task. An addon can be quite large at loadup (like say, a database) but not use up much resources in game.

Unless the addon has some support for it, it's not really possible to track real-time resource usage of it. There are a few addons that hook into things to try to do it, and they work fairly well... but not perfectly.

That said, I'd reccomend something like tekSupport in this case.

The absolutely best way to find out which mod is the culprit is the fail-safe method of disabling all your mods, enabling them one at a time, and test. That way you will know for sure which mod is making you lag.

Good luck, and hope you can find out what addon's giving you a headache.
