Text overlay seems to impact UI render performance

PostTue Jun 17, 2025 8:16 am

Not very scientific observation but to me it seems that text overlays (I use either "Text" or then subscript overlays) seem to have a much bigger/worse impact on render performance in 20.0 than in previous 19.x versions? Has the way text elements are handled changed in 20? Anybody else seeing this?

I don't recall how 19 performed, but in a very quick test I saw my render speeds go from about 18 to about 12 when it hit the Text title.
