Addons vs performance and CPU speed

Has anyone recently upgraded to a faster CPU (ideally with more cores) and can talk about the impact it had on performance when using larger number of addons?
I understand the game is mostly CPU limited and it's especially true with addons - and that it's _mostly_ single threaded.
Here's my situation: I use 60-70 addons (that's after I cut down absolutely everything I was willing to part with), and /reloadui takes around 25-30 seconds (MM alone is 8 seconds of that, ouch). I've gotten to the point of being majorly annoyed by this, especially since I found out it's just six seconds without any addons in a populated place like Mournhold marketplace.

What I'm trying to figure out is how much faster it could get with more powerful CPU. I currently have older Core i7 overclocked to 4,4GHz in my PC.

Can anyone comment on this?

    I am woth i7 7740x @4.7 GHZ and in stormhaven i still fall in to the mid 30 sometimes without any addons . So unless you have nitrogen cooling and OC CPU to 6ghz+ u will see no improvements rly.
