UI's take away from the game's performance we all desperately need!

It might help if you stated what UI you were using.

Even the most graphically simple UI will still require more system resources than no UI. Updating numbers, progress bars, icons, etc. has an impact no mater how optimized the windows are. Still, there are a few things that can be done to reduce the processing of the UI graphics.

FetishNightfall was devloped specifically to have a small footprint and does try to avoid those UI options that might drag down game performance. Many users have commented that their game runs smoother with the Fetish UI than with the Default. EQ2Maps and Infocenter do have an impact but are considered by most users to be well worth the sacrifice.
