Memory usage doesn't matter as long as it's well written code.

Having said that.... out of all the chat addons I've ever tried, Prat is the best hands down.

myChat is my personal favorite for doing exactly what I want, being easy (for me) to configure, and without a lot of frill: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...89-myChat.html

Edit: I also like Neal's nChat which comes with Neav UI, just doesn't have URL copying: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...81-NeavUI.html

Was using BasicChatMods, not using one, atm (I have no UI set up). You can disable unwanted modules or just copy paste the stuff together you want to use.

Petrah is right, even if the mod uses 10MB ram it wont slow performance, what does this is if the functions are poorly coded and eat up CPU inefficiently -end up with spikes, even if it says the addon uses 1KB memory when idle.

Actually I don't like any of the chatmods currently available. But I made one to fit my needs.
