Description
-
open the graphics speed window, just to see the current fps
-
open the statistics bar from the advanced menu
-
you noticed an important fps drop
note: this seems specific to mac. overall, ui elements are very taxing on this machine. the fps floater is a good example to illustrate the issue as it impacts severely the fps (which is by itself problematic as it's supposed to give an indication of the actual fps) and studying this issue might help solving the overall ui performance issues.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the Mac-only FPS drop with the graphics speed window and statistics bar, then trace the affected UI path; done means the statistics floater no longer causes an important FPS reduction while still reporting useful FPS.
