I know what F7 is lol. I just dont get how those texts can cause such a drop in fps.

The text's outline causes it to be rendered five times per line of text, rather than just once. When multiple colors are used on a single line, this number increases even further. Disabling the outlines results in 80% less text-rendering, no wonder that it's faster. Regardless, the used method to render text is slow by itself as it doesn't allow for caching of the font's glyphs and kerning/ligatures.
