Loading Screen AddOn

[laukond]

I've recently stumbled into quite long loading screens, so I'm looking for an AddOn to analyze which other AddOns are delaying it so long.

Any updated AddOns like WarmUp around?

General tips about troubleshooting this stuff would be greatly appreciated. Takes about 1 second to RL without AddOns, 10 seconds with AddOns and this is on a SSD.

Try starting with only 1 addon loaded and keep re-logging while adding an extra addon everytime.

I did that and figured out TomTom takes quite a bit of time, would be nice to see how much each AddOn consumes though :-)

My initial response was "that should still work" but then I tried it, and looked in its code, and there's simply no way that file could ever work since it's attempting to call methods on a global frame reference that doesn't exist.

Here's a version that actually works. Just overwrite the Lua file from the download you linked with the attached file. TomTom is indeed fat and sluggish.

Edit: Oh, I also commented out the nonsense that makes it disable itself after each run. I'm perfectly capable of deciding when I'm done debugging and turning it off myself, thanks.

This is awesome! It works on most of my AddOns, but something makes it get these errors:

Line 25: You should never use debugprofilestart()! (x10)
Line 152: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'lastmem' (a nil value) (x7)

Fixed the first one. Not really sure what's up with the second one, as I've never used or looked into the memory debugging API at all, so for now I just monkey-patched it by setting it to 0 if it doesn't exist, so it can be math'ed. However, I'm not sure the memory reporting is accurate at all, especially the garbage collected (the last number) which seems unbelievably high for many addons, so this and the other memory-related value I added a fallback to 0 for probably need further investigation. The load time is the most important thing, though, and that seems correct, so I probably won't spend much (if any) time on the memory stuff.

Thanks a lot, it works on all the AddOns now I agree only the loading time stuff is relevant.

How do I use this mod? I suffer from long loading screens so I decided to try it. All I'm getting on login is stuff unrelated to addons printed to chat:

(...)
[12:13:13] 40 (0) | UPDATE_WORLD_STATES
[12:13:13] 13 (0) | USE_GLYPH
[12:13:13] 1 (0) | VARIABLES_LOADED
[12:13:13] 2 (0) | VEHICLE_ANGLE_SHOW
[12:13:13] 2 (0) | VEHICLE_POWER_SHOW

And then only two lines that actually say something about times, that repeat on 3 different toons:

[12:13:33] 0.089 sec | Blizzard_GarrisonUI (1125 KiB - 874 KiB)
[12:13:33] 0.035 sec | MasterPlan (353 KiB - 728 KiB)

but first one is not even an addon and secondly, the times being 0,035 sec don't seem to have much impact on login times. I'm sure there must be more addons slowing it down.

I did download the latest .lua linked here.
