Not trying to "make a sale" here, but the design of the DuskUI uses DDS format for the images. This makes the files smaller and causes less strain on the GPU. When Nadger started making the original DuskUI, he said he did so with the idea to make something that could be more performance-friendly than the original UI.

I think he succeeded. I was telling Shayalyn in IM last night about my experiences with it. I was getting 30-35 FPS inside a cave filled with mobs. This almost never happened for me with the default or DroxUIs.

I will try to test more soon in a crowded area like Khal. And for the curious, here are my specs:
P4 dual core 3 GHz cpu
1.76 GB RAM
GeForce 7600GT 256MB gpu
boring HDD

I typically run a shade toward the performance side of balanced with tons of ini tweaks. Prior to installing DuskUI, I was getting 30-40FPS in open fields. 15-20 FPS in dungeons. 5-10 FPS in crowded areas, especially crafting halls.

More tests coming soon.
