[Performance] Health Nova significant framerate drops

Framerate drops significantly and noticeably when Health Nova is used. Testing in Hero Sandbox, steam overlay FPS counter says I saw a drop from 54 to 41fps. The drop happens for a very short period of time (~0.25s), quicker than the FPS counter refreshes so it might be dropping lower - it certainly feels significantly lower.

Config:
I am on a laptop with an i5 12500H using integrated Iris Xe graphics, on charge and set to Performance power profile.
Graphics settings: Everything lowest, 1440x900, 90Hz refresh rate, full resolution scale.

Repro steps:
1. Launch into Hero Sandbox.
2. Buy Health Nova from Vitality section of shop.
3. Exit shop.
4. Note framerate.
5. Use Health Nova and see framerate drop.
