Intermittent major FPS drops when dragging the main WeakAuras configuration window

Is there an existing issue for this?

Description
Sometimes when dragging the main WeakAuras configuration menu I suffer from major FPS drops that continually get worse the longer I continue dragging. The issue does not always happen, and I'm unsure of what the trigger is, but there are times after typing /wa and bringing up the window that moving it will cause my FPS to drop from 144 to <30fps. And the more I move the window, the slower and slower the game bogs down.
I'm not sure if this is new behavior or not, but I don't remember this being an issue. Likewise, after few minutes the issue seems to just disappear, and dragging the window goes back to the normal behavior. I apologise for not giving you more to go on regarding how to trigger the bug, but it's happened multiple times in the last few days - enough to lead me to want to report it. Nevertheless, whenever I try to record it happening the issue seems to have resolved itself.

your weakauras settings file, found at WTF\Account<Account #>\SavedVariables\WeakAuras.lua
Here you go. I had to zip up the specific file due to GitHub indicating that they don't allow .lua files directly.
I'm not able to reproduce the issue with your settings while dragging WeakAurasOptions frame for a long time, i lose at max 10 fps (95->85 with all max settings in valdrakken) if i move it fast but get back to normal when i stop
The code use for moving the frame do 1 api call when mouse button is down, and a bit more when mouse button is back up, but nothing special in between.
Yes, it's inconsistent like I stated before, but when it happens it's very, very obvious. I don't know what triggers it either. Perhaps the slow down comes from loading assets into memory in an on-demand fashion. That could explain why the issue eventually resolves seemingly randomly.
