  I use Skada and DBM myself and I raid DS 3-4 times a week with YorsahjAnnounce enabled and no problems, so I know those don't have an issue. I stopped using Recount because it performs poorly in DS25, even with everything else disabled. I've never used Raven before and I have no idea what it might be doing, although at a glance i suspect it uses alot more cycles than YA, especially in other fights.

  YorsahjAnnounce only enables itself in the Yorsahj room, which it detects by querying the zone name when you change subzones (there is a game event for that). The addon prints a message to chat when it detects you have entered or left that room. When you are outside that room the addon is completely disabled and there is literally no other code running aside from the occasional event handler. This is why I find it extremely unlikely that it could be affecting performance outside the Yor'sahj room.

  If you want to go a step further, you can comment out the event registration lines in YorsahjAnnounce.lua:545-553 in function addon:OnEnable(). This will disable the event handlers thereby breaking the addon (it will remain permanently disabled), but will ensure that absolutely zero code runs outside the Yorsahj room.

  Another thing worth checking - are you absolutely certain you are using YorsahjAnnounce and not one of the 4-5 other very similarly named addons that do similar things? Some of the alternatives are very poorly written and could easily explain your difficulties.

  Hello. I actually did a complete delete and reinstall of my interface, cache and wtf folders, as part of my process of trying to diagnose my issues.

  I disabled add-on's, one by one, to be sure I have isolated the problem. For starters I played using only Skada and DBM. I also experienced the issue with BigWigs instead of DBM, and with Recount instead of Skada. The only other add-on I use is Raven. But disabling these other add-on's one by one did not resolve my problem. The only thing that gave my framerates back was turning of YorsahjAnnounce.

  What does the add-on do to determine whether I am fighting Yorsahj or not? There must be some code that is looking at the combat log or something? Maybe it contributes to a bottleneck when the combat log becomes very active?

  I use very few add-ons - right now just Skada, DBM and Raven. If there is a bad interaction with one of these, I think it should be easy for you to reproduce the results on your end. It's possible there is something unique to my system, but I don't think so. Let me know if I can be helpful in tracking it down. Thanks.

  It's very unlikely that YorsahjAnnounce is the root cause of the problem. This addon doesn't run any code outside of the Yorsahj room - it deregisters all the relevant events otherwise.

  The only possibilities I can think of:

  • If you're running libraries disembedded you may have an old or buggy version of Ace3
  • Both of the cases you mention are very graphic intensive - you may need to adjust your graphical settings (eg turning down particle density, etc)
  • Some other addon may be interfering and triggering a bad behavior

  Please provide your complete list of addons and try again with your graphic settings turned down.
