Subject: Addon load optimization
   If you have a top level frame that is scripted shown or hidden on load based on some conditions, be sure to mark it hidden="true". This will cause the layout engine to defer sizing and placing the frame until it's actually shown.

This is especially true in 1.9, where more aggressive optimization is being done.

   I use this occasionally to see what frame is under the mouse:
/script message(GetMouseFocus():GetName())

Q u o t e:
My interpretatoin of Slouken's recommendation is:

"This will improve performance now, and even more when 1.9 is launched"


Yes, that's correct.

Q u o t e:
I got bit on this with a show-on-mouseover frame. The GetLeft/Right/Top/Bottom functions are not valid until the frame is shown once.


Yes, this should be fixed in most cases with 1.9
