Addons that update constantly are the ones that can make you lag... from your list I can say: Omen, Recount, Gatherer, Mikscrolling, Titanpanel (wtf, get ride of this junk, this is one of the the worst programmed addon ever, I am sure just getting ride of that one you would see a huge improvement).

Recount, Gatherer and Auctioneer eat up lots of resources. You don't have to delete them, just shut them off from the character screen before a raid/bg. Get
Fubar
to replace Titanpanel. There is a plug-in called
Fubar_PerformanceFu
that is very light weight and will show you resource allocation so you can see which other add-ons eat up your memory. But Recount, Gatherer and Auctioneer eat up a lot. And get SCT, go into options, and shut off the things you don't need. It is still going to track them, but it won't eat up the resources displaying them.
Pitbull may use less resources, but the new version is balls to set up. I would stick with x-perl.
And if you can get more ram into your computer, I would. Three 256 chips is not very much. It shouldn't cost much to fill all the slots you have (I would guess 4, but some machines only have 3) with the best ram it can take.
You should also start saving your pennies for a new machine, because this is just going to get worse.

758 RAMGet some more.
Mostly been thinking about switching Xpearl for Pitbull. Which one of these has less CPU/memory usage?Definitely Pitbull.
Currently the best option as far as performance goes is oUF (short of coding one on your own), but it requires at least some understanding of Lua and API to configure properly.
Also Titanpanel is kinda old, but i like the features, which i heard the new ones dont have.Titanpanel's features (and most such addons' ones for that matter) are quite simple and it wouldn't be hard for them to be re-coded in LibDataBroker, if someone hasn't already done them.
My friend noticed huge lagging from MSBT (we both used SCT before but it was lagging even more), is there any way to reduce that by unticking some of the events, or will addon eat as much CPU/memory as on full capacity anyway?Definitely. It won't likely have a noticeable impact on your fps though, MSBT is already pretty light (as far as SCT addons can go). It's likely lighter than the default one.
Also Recount seems to be eating a lot (even turned of, not visible on the screen, but still gathering data ofc).Not much you can do about it but drop it.
/castsequence reset=20 charge, berserker stance, intercept, battle stanceThere is simply no way to make a reliable macro to combine those two. Yours is pretty close to the best. I've tried different ways to do it, and feel the best one is just having two separate macros:#showtooltip Charge
/use Charge;Battle Stance#showtooltip Intercept
/use Intercept;Berserker Stance

Great UI. Takes up 8mb. That's with me using recount, omen and MSBT.
/facepalm... the space it takes doesnt matter. I make just affect your loading screen. It is how the addons are programmed (what they call, how often they call it, etc) that affect your FPS.

Technically speaking, the default UI is going to offer you the least drain on system resources simply due to the fact that frames are never actually garbage collected. Any unitframe addon is simply hiding the Blizzard frames and running on top of it :P

If the default UI is too small, play with UI scale. Enable status text on all your frames to display actual values as opposed to percentages.
Near to patch 3.1, I decided I was using way too many AddOns, and went back to using much of the default UI -- those two specific things bugged me too.

There is also a command:
/console reloaduiStuff.Or you could use/run local name = "AddOnName" IsAddOnLoaded(name) and DisableAddOn("AddOnName") or EnableAddOn("AddOnName") ReloadUI()Toggles between enabling and disabling "AddOnName".

Only command wont help me as i need to dsiable certain addons before doing so, and disabling them is only possible at picking character screen and i dont plan to relog every time i am going to go wg or raid.
Also ticking and unticking the addons will be kinda annoying.
The addon pasted above should help.
I don't know about ACP, but I've been using Ampere and had good experiences with it. May be another to look at.
