Question UI effecting frame rates

I am new to EQ2 and play on a crappy laptop.

I have found that the UI has an enourmous effect on the graphical lag when I play. To be exact the Unit windows (player, group, target, target of target) seem to be the biggest offenders along with the buff and debuff pains.

I can vastly improve my performance by setting their opacity to 0 and just mousing over them when needed.

I don't have a clue why this is but in my ignorance I suspect it is the rate at which they update themselves.

Would a minimulistic UI with a slow refresh be possible or is that out of the realm of what SOE has made possible with custom UIs?

Thanks in advance for reading and considering my questions!!
