PerfBoost Settings

A configuration addon for the perf_boost.dll mod https://gitea.com/avitasia/perf_boost that provides an easy-to-use interface for adjusting performance optimization settings.

Guide for new users

Settings

Master Control

• Enable Performance Boost - Enable/disable all performance boost features

You can keybind this in your keybinds — I highly recommend doing this in case you need to see hidden units in an emergency!

Rendering Settings

• Always Render Raid Marks - Whether to always render raid marks regardless of distance/combat/etc
• Always Render PVP Players - Whether to always render players flagged for PVP
• Always Render Players With Aggro - Whether to always render players who have aggro from enemies
• Always Render Players - Comma-separated list of player names to always render regardless of other settings
• Never Render Players - Comma-separated list of player names to never render regardless of other settings
• Show All Players - Show all players regardless of distance and other render settings
• Hide All Players - Hide all players regardless of other render settings

Priority: Settings are applied from top to bottom - earlier settings override later ones.

Note: The addon will scan for players in your always/never render lists once per minute to cache their GUIDs. For better performance, it's recommended to clear out old names from these lists when players are no longer relevant.
