Close Main Hud windows

[mtcrowe]

Because of my location I'm forced to use dial-up for internet access. I have to turn the hud off completely to be able to use the griffins and horses through-out the game. This got me to thinking that maybe turning off the windows I don't use would speed up the game, but the ones that I don't use don't have an option to close them.

The windows I would like to close are the ones dealing with spells. The hotbar greying out active spells, and the battle info gives me all the details I need to play the game and keep me and my group alive. Is there a way to turn off the maintained spells, active spells, and detremental spell windows?

I've tried just making them see through with the opacity settings, but that made no impact on the game speed. And since using the F-10 to turn off the hud alltogether gives me increased performace, the slow down has to be in a window that I can't close.
