So my normal FPS sucks. It's between 30-60 when not affected by any bugs. Tonight, after the patch, I got the rainbow minimap bug and my FPS fell to 20 when looking in certain directions. When I disabled the HUD with shift-f11 I got a stable 80-90 FPS. When I am not affected by this bug and I disable hud I gain between 10 and 25 FPS.

What could possibly explain such a large gain? What part of the UI is that much of a resource hog?

Why is the unbugged UI inefficient enough to cost at least 20% of FPS? Flash and all that sure, but 20%!

EDIT: Why are the devs doing fairly severe LOD tweaks to free up resources when the problems are obviously elsewhere, at least on my system?
