I like playing using WA's a lot and tinker around with them. So I'm looking for some tips to make them more light weight.
Like what are some small things eating up more/less performance one would not think?

if you use default settings you should mostly be fine. Avoiding rangechecks is generally also a good thing to do.

You can use WA's "profiling" to assist in identifying potential performance issues.
You may access the Real Time Profiling Window by:
• Right-Clicking the WA minimap icon.
• Using slash commands
• Keybinding these commands directly in the Keybinding menu or mouseover the WA Minimap icon for clickables.
Slash commands:
/wa pstart to begin a new profile - optionally include combat, boss, or a number to profile only the next time you are in combat, fight a boss, or the specified amount of time in amount of seconds
/wa pstop to finish a profile, and prepare the results
/wa pprint to view the results
Profiling measures the time each aura took while profiling was active. Thus to profile, for example, an encounter, enable it directly before the pull and disable it directly after the pull.
