Any

What went wrong?
Displaying FPS or 'Show Statistics' slows dolphin. In OpenGL

What did you expect to happen?
It shouldn't impact performance

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Load a game, then tick 'Show FPS' or 'Show Statistics' (statistics slowdowns more)

64bit dolphin 3.5-257

Did the game ever work correctly?
i don't know if this is related but when the font was yellow there was no slowdown...

the actual rasterfont implementation is outdated as hell. so maybe your gpu/driver doesn't support to do this in hardware.

it should be fixed in immediate-revmoval branch. there also is the yellow font issue :-)

this branch is merged in glsl-master to reach core compatibility

I don't know crap about graphics coding, but I took a peek at the code for the FPS display, and it just looked plain slow.

Maybe the compiler optimizes it heavily, but this issue could be valid, though I always play with Show FPS on anyway. Since I never turn it off, I don't have numbers.
