Plugins kill my frame rate.

I have found an interesting problem with plugins. Whenever I load plugins my frame rate immediately drops by 20 to 30 FPS. Unload them and the frame rates go back up to normal. I have a Radeon 6970 and can reproduce this on any of this years Catalyst versions including the pre-release 11.4 that is available.

Because of this I have had to stop using plugins all together.

Am I alone in this? Anyone else seeing it?

This only started when I replaced my CrossfireX dual 4890s with a single HD 6970.

I still need to troubleshoot each plugin one by one, but I was using Manager, Palantir, Tonic Bars and Buff Bars.

I have tried each separate, and it seems that Palantir is the biggest impact.
