Item bar lag?

[Lyonheart]

I LOVE the item bar, i use it A LOT while leveling up and questing on all my teams! The last few days i seem to be having some kind of lag, I place an item in the bar on my main, and sometimes it takes several minutes to appear in my slaves bar. It seems to be random, sometimes it works perfectly and others it can take a few seconds to many minutes to finally appear in the salves item bars. Any ideas?

the only times i get slow response (like jamba hp bars updating slow etc) is after i pushed some info, or whenever there is alot of traffic in the jamba chat channel.
Haven't seen it specifically for the item bar though.

Do you have Jamba-Quest Watcher enabled? If so, turn that off and see if that speeds things along... Please let me know if it does or if you do not have Jamba-Quest Watcher enabled.

I tried turning off quest helper and it still will not load the item in slaves for several minutes. It always works great for the first hour or so when i log in, but the longer I'm on with a team, the longer it takes to load an item in the salves bar. Turning off QH seems to help a little, but over time, even with QH off it will start to lag like I have explained.

I love item bar and use it constantly. Keep my drinks and quest items aslong as equipping new gear on all toons.

I have not come across the issue you have. I've tried turning on Jamba-quest and updating alot of features while doing it... but its almost instant still.

I heard a rumor one time [I have no source and I'm too lazy to Google it so it is currently a rumor] about how the background FPS affects the "pipeline" of addons that use channels, such as Jamba. Perhaps we can all gather 'round the fire while I lightly strum this guitar and we can all share what our background FPS is set at. Anyone care to go first? I cannot go first as I do not use Jamba [don't hate me Jafula].

Lol, Fenril, I don't hate you.

You are correct, a background FPS of 20 will halve the amount of data sent. Not good really... Jamba uses this library: http://www.wowwiki.com/ChatThrottleLib

Easy fix is to set your background FPS on everything to a minimum of 21.

Medium fix is for you to edit every occurance of ChatThrottleLib.lua in your wow addons folders and change this line to a lower value:

ChatThrottleLib.MIN_FPS = 20 -- Reduce output CPS to half (and don't burst) if FPS drops below this value

Harder fix is for me to work out how to override the library in Jamba.

I'll try this.. i have a super fast pc though, i can box 10 on this PC ( and have plenty of times) Also this item bar lag thing is new, it never used to do it. Also, the fact that it gets worse over time? it is instant for the first hour or so I'm logged in.

Hmmm, the lag over time is bizarre. I'll keep that in mind when I'm next doing addon channel stuff.

I have my background fps set to 10, maybe I should set it to 21?
