Addon shouldn't load outside arena if I only have "arena frames" module loaded

Hi, thanks for your work on this addon.

I have a small request to impart - it seems that the "nameplate" module (or, possibly, arena frame cds) is still doing stuff in the background regardless of whether or not anything is enabled in it:

(this is just me afking in Valdrakken, no additional addons enabled)

Can you please look into it/explain to me if I'm doing something wrong?
Here are my settings:

Thank you!

With just arena frame module enabled, the CPU cycle is lower than BigDebuffs:

I'm running around current main city with lots of people moving around

I took a look at the code, it's the nameplate module still running checks to see if anything needs to be updated.
The initial version of the addon didn't do this, but every little change in nameplate settings required a UI reload, now almost no settings require UI reload, they will update either immediately or with a simple target change / change of camera.
This is an intentional trade-off to save players some trouble reloading UIs :)

I ran the CPU profile of my addon vs. other nameplate addons such as Threat Plate / Plater, it's still much more lightweight in terms of CPU cycles, comparable to BigDebuffs when I'm running around a big city with all features enabled.
