Addon Lag checks...

Well recently, i have been having major lag, but really MAJOR lag compared to say, a month ago in some places and all, i also happens to sometimes have Chain Disconnects. For example, the other day i requested a guildmate to summon me in Shattrah, i disconnected 5 times in a row before i was finally able to MOVE in the city. The same as happen one time i made Teleport: Stormwind. I thought it was because there was major amount of data since they are big capital cities but 3 days ago, i got 3 DC in a row, logging on my Warlock in ANVILMAR -.-;;

Here's the list. A few notes about them here:

- I have Ephemeral Disabled at all times, unless i want to actually use it, as i cannot see my whispers correctly, or my buff/debuffs either while its on.
- I use the Ace2 folder, which to what i heard is the external Ace libs, but i still have the libs in every of my ace2 addons. I wonder if i should delete the embedded aces...
- I have heard that Cartographers Instances Maps/Loots are still glitchy, reason i still have my Atlas.

Also, here's my comp specs in case you need them:
Intel Pentium 4 1.80 ghz
256 MB Ram
Video: NVidia GeForce FX 5200

So, any addons should i get rid of, replace, or other reasons why i would get such lag as of lately.
Oh and before i forget, does SavedVariable take an amount of memory? For example, my Cellular's logging, or my recently downloaded Mining/Herbing Databases?

ram and a new video card maybe , i had 1gig and the same video card as you and could not raid in kara so i changed video cards to a RADEON X800 PRO nort the best in the world but helped out big time. for the addons thing prob will not help big time of taking them off or keeping them on since BC things are more needed for your com like ram and stuff.

edit:maybe try using ace addons best thing i can think of.

An addon being ace has nothing to do with how much it makes you lag. Bartender uses MORE memory, and creats MORe lag than bongos does.

Turning off addons you don't need on at a moment will reduce lag.

1. If you use the standalone Ace2 library, you can delete any Ace* library folders inside your addons. For instance, if your addon has a "libs" folder that contains the folders "AceAddon-2.0", "AceEvent-2.0", "Dewdrop-2.0", and "Parser-3.0", you can delete "AceAddon-2.0" and "AceEvent-2.0" but not the other two, unless you also go get standalone copies of those.

2. Personally I use Atlas because it's more aesthetically pleasing and I find it easier to use. Cartograhper's instance map/note/loot modules use less memory (so if you're low on memory you might want to stick with them), but I like the nice clickable list of bosses, rather than having to mouseover however many notes to locate the boss or object I'm interested in.

3. Your system specs are below the minimum recommended by Blizzard, which in turn is below the minimum many players would suggest. With only 256 MB of RAM, you're going to have trouble even without running any addons. While switching to more memory efficient addons may help a little bit, buying more RAM is probably the only way you'll see much difference. Try logging in and playing for a bit with no addons and see if you notice a significant difference.
