[1.1 64-Bit] framerate drops with HUD (both stock and modded)

[TheChiefMeat]

Hey everyone, like most of you I've been playing around with KSP 1.1 and naturally my mod list is starting to bulk in size. Something I noticed was that my Career save had a significantly better frame rate than a Sandbox save, even when the Career save have multiple ships and the Sandbox save was fresh. (Both stock and modded)

I decided to try test this out and find out if a particular mod was responsible for this, alas I couldn't find any evidence. I did however come across this and couldn't come up with any real reason as to why this is a thing:

• Toggling between (F2): http://imgur.com/9VvWOr4
• Video showing the FPS drop: https://youtu.be/NFWCOitSov0

I've tried taking away the bulkier mods, but as far as I can tell this happens regardless of how many you have installed and only gets worse the more you install. What's interesting is my peak frame rate (the rate with no HUD) never dips to an unacceptable level, only when I turn the HUD back on does the frame rate take a crap. This problem appear to be cumulative and even happens in stock, hence my posting here. As I include more and more mods to the game the frame rate gets progressively lower unless I disable the HUD and then my FPS goes back to normal.

If any mod creators or even a developer could answer this question I would be grateful as I'm at a loss.

PS: Does anyone know of a mod that is compatible with 1.1 that give me a seperate HUD on my second screen? I'd happily gain more frames if it means tilting my head a little, thanks.
