    What version of Grid2  are you using (Version is displayed in General/About Tab) ?

      3.17

    What game client version, classic or retail, windows or mac and language are you using ?

     retail

    What steps will reproduce the problem?

    Running the addon during a dungeon


    Please provide any additional information below.

     
    Grid2 has always had low CPU usage and I have never had issues with it for 10+ years. I have started getting some small lagspikes so I decided to monitor my addon and I can see that gird has started getting alot of 1ms and a couple of 5m and 10ms spikes. I also see the addon cpu usage jump from < 0.5 cpu% to up to 4-5% cpu usage during many fights.

    This has never been the case before, I am not sure if this has been going on for awhile either since midnight release, because of a recent patch or because of a update to the addon?

     

    Has anyone else been experiencing this? I monitor my addons from time to time to see that everything is working, and I don't think I have ever seen grid2 have more then a couple 1ms spikes over an entire mythic raid fight. 

    My setup was fresh and very basic from the pre-patch. I even tried disabling most buffs/debuffs and played with just the frames and it didn't improve the cpu spikes.

    Midnight is a different beast. Due to the new restrictions a lot of old optimizations cannot be applied. 

    But  1.1 ms or even 5ms usage of 1000ms should not cause lag issues.
