Hey, Im looking for addons to increase my FPS and make my UI still look pretty.
So I need basically low CPU usage addons.
Thanks!

what kind of addons, i'm a huge fan of tukui which provides almost everything except recount and dbm and is very low on cpu usage, but its a full ui overhaul.
I raid with Quartz, Bartender4 and BigWigs, OmniCC and RBS along with TidyPlates+ThreatPlates
These have been about the lightest I have come accross, but things like Bartender4 are not necessary and there are probably lighter version.
Hopefully others can suggest more/alternatives
I'm using:
Dominos
Buttonfacade
DBM
Recount
I could use lightweight minimap, casting bars and unitframes. Maybe some other handy stuff which I didn't mention?
Just a quick comment. Your thread title says "low memory" but your thread content mentions CPU as a concern. If it's CPU you're worried about, you should ignore memory completely. It can often be the case that "higher" memory consuming addons have "lower" CPU consumption.
Since your concern is FPS, you should consider updating your thread title to say that you're looking for low CPU addons.
As far as high CPU addons go, a lot of bag mods (like ArkInventory), Recount, Grid, Bartender4, and Pitbull are actually fairly high up in terms of CPU utilization. The other potentially guilty type of addons are combat text addons.
My suggestion would be to find the raid and unit frames addons of your choice (since that's where you get the most UI customization) and then forgo any Recount, Combat Text, or fancy bag addons completely.
Recount is by far the one of the worst CPU consuming addons in high population.

Hermes - Share cooldown status with raid/party.

Replace Recount with TinyDPS if all you're concerned with is the damage/dps and healing done meters. That'll help some for sure.
Moo.
Quartz does not calculate Haste for Dots/Hots correctly, so until this is fixed I would stay clear of it. As to Castbar I would use AzCastBar (no longer in development appearently though) or Gnosis.

I can only recommend Shadowed Unit Frames. Best coupled with Shadowed Unit Frames - Indicators.
