As you do not care about improvements use old versions of addons.

You heard about program options? You can turn it off.
Do not use addons at all your FPS goes up.

Did you actually read any of the previous posts in this thread?

Nobody says different things.

Neither developer, nor administrator, but still not interested in your POV as your whole posting just shows that you just want to rant and did not read anything from the previous posts.
So stop QQ and read first
