Like the way the target window only apears when you have something targeted, or the way the chat window fades in only when theres something going on. I would like to set it so my hotkey bars and spell effects windows only show when I am in attack mode. Otherwise the screen will be blank. This should give about 5-10 more FPS from just doing the little tests I'v done clearing them out myself.
I believe something like that could be written in a mod. However the problem with this is that you need FPS the most when you're fighting (IMO) -- with your approach your FPS in a fight will take an additional hit.
