Yes, plugins can (but not always) have an impact on your framerate, and the most powerful video cards are not going to help.

The problem comes from the update procedures being used by the plugins. If the plugin updates itself too often, or has too much work to do during the update, then that will lower the framerate of the game.

I try hard with the travel window to ensure the framerate is not too badly affected, knowing users will likely be running a number of plugins. The less my plugin affects the framerate, the better.
