Not many people utilize it and that's a shame. To be honest, I don't keep track of what the default is capable of anymore. I know it used to be horrible and as a raiding priest is was almost required to configure an interface to be successful. Obviously, that's no longer the case and I'm happy to see that Blizzard is taking a step in the right direction in that respect. There are so many tricks to configuring the UI that don't even require addons. That just might be my next topic. Scale is very important. Not many people utilize it and that’s a shame.

(only I scale it all the way down cuz their version is huge and huge is ugly). The only main thing I see them missing is the Focus Frame to be honest, I also don’t mind the blizzard UI.

So, that being said, it's not supposed to be using more resources. That's under normal circumstances, however if you have all of the modules enabled on PitBull resource usage can quickly skyrocket. A typical problem is that disabled modules will still affect resources utilized. To combat that you can go into the actual folder for PitBull and delete any unused modules. I have not experienced any negative performance issues that can be attributed to PitBull (admittedly, this is difficult to tell on satellite, since I usually just blame satellite). You're not the first I've heard to complain about choppiness/performance issues though. Rehauling an interface for efficiency is definitely difficult, there's no question about that (I just recently redid all my keybinds) but in the end it will be well worth it. It will take a lot of honest evaluation to determine what is truly needed and what isn't. Sure, you've grown accustomed to certain information being there and available at your convenience, but is it necessary? Well, PitBull is modular whereas ag is… not.
