However, don't criticize other consumers for having other attitudes. A developer who wants his creation to be used by as many people as possible REALLY can't afford to have that kind of attitude. This is why blizzard is doing so well; they make products that don't need the latest and greatest hardware. Some people can't afford to buy a state-of-the-art computer every 3 months.
If it's possible to make this mod more cpu/RAM efficient, by all means do so. It'll mean more players can benefit from the mod.
I think you are missing the point, unless you have a really ancient computer (that has problems running wow at all), the memory usage is not even a problem. It's is more what those addons do with the memory, some addons can have a slow effect even tho they use almost no memory, and the other way around.
The only way to know this is by trail and error (unless you want to check every addons code base), and from my experience, this addon is already efficient.
