Lag

Seems the more labels I put on a custom UI the more lag I get. Using the Solaria UI mod i have been working on I see a difference of about 5 FPS or more. Anyone else notice any lag or drop in frame rate?

Yes more labels you add you get a slightly decresed performance.

Has anyone tried compensating by adjusting maxfps upwards? I'd like to know if that has any effect.

I only use a couple custom labels (clock in the compass window! Makes it a lot easier to see that I should be camping out to sleep!), so I don't get performance issues. Would be an interesting experiment to play with maxfps and see if that changes anything.

I have a question. /maxfps is just a throttle isn't it? If you set maxfps fg to say 60 and you are only getting 45 fps is it basically the same as not using maxfps because you never reach the 60 fps?

From what you said it sounds like maxfps will limit cpu even if you are not at the set maxfps.

Yes the custom ui's do cause video lag. In my case with the defualt UI I run at 50FPS, if i load my NON-mq2 UI is goes to around 40. loading my SUPER customised Target and group window it goes to about 10. I just bout a nvida 5900 video card I want to see if hat help. in the mean time I just use a slightlu modified mq2 UI.

I dont think setting the maxfps would help. If it does I will set mine to 2000 FPS LOL

A question I have is; is label 9999 any slower than using the predefined mq2 labels?

Also can the use of allias speed thing up? For example set "/targetinfo" to return $target(name) & $Target(class) & Target(level) and Target(x) & Target(x) $Target(distance) MAYBE the UI will be faster. has anyone tried this?

This addition will cause MQLabels to update roughly once per second instead of every pulse.

*edit -- Removed the code 'cause it didn't work

How fast do labels update usually? Some seemed to be instant, but others every pulse.

It was randomly updating 1 label ... definitely not what we wanted.
