UnitXP_SP3 is now built in

wow_turbo serves the UnitXP(...) command set itself, so you can delete UnitXP_SP3.dll. Line of sight, the distance meters, behind, targeting, the nameplate filters, the camera offsets and follow mode, weather suppression, FPS caps, script timers, notifications and screenshot re-encoding all work as before, and the companion addon runs unmodified, panel and keybindings included. Sight answers come from a position-aware cache that traces the world roughly twenty times less often than the original did, which was a real slice of frame time in a crowded city.

Two deliberate differences: the floating combat text overlay is not built in yet, so those commands answer exactly like the original does when its renderer fails to start and stock combat text stays; and the remote Lua debugger, the TCP tweaks and the math detours are gone, the math because wow_turbo already owns those functions.

Nameplates cost much less in cities

Turning nameplates on in a busy zone used to cost real frames, and most of that was the engine anchoring and laying out each plate as it was added. That work is now native and reuses anchors instead of rebuilding them, taking it from about 6.5% of frame time down to about 1.5% with plates on in Stormwind.

Appearances stop rebuilding models twice

Equipment appearance changes arrive from the server as a blank followed by a restore on the same field, and the client rebuilt a model for each half. Both halves are now folded into one when the restore arrives promptly, so browsing appearances and standing in a crowd of transmogged players is smoother. The client also only checked the file system for art on some lookup paths, which left loose custom files unreachable on the others; that check now runs on every path.

Together these replace transmogfix.dll, which you can delete.

Compatibility

Four mods are now covered and should be removed: libSiliconPatch.dll, weirdperformance.dll, UnitXP_SP3.dll and transmogfix.dll. SuperWoW and nampower are fine alongside; load them first. If anything misbehaves, WOW_TURBO_SKIP=all disables every hook without a reinstall.
