Stat panels in certain scenarios cause a noticeable performance/fps drop while active.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Make an updating stat panel
2. Observe performance

Expected Results:
No loss in performance.
Actual Results:
Noticeable loss in performance.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Yes
In other games? Yes
In other user accounts? Yes
On other computers? Yes
When does the problem NOT occur?
When not using stat panels or using relatively light stat panels/verb panels.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Workarounds:
Don't use stat panels.
