VR Text update lag

[SinanAkkoyun]

Hello!
I have a UI that has 5 elements to reach my text (total # elements: 30 but pretty flat).
No matter if it's the first or last part in the hierarchy, whenever I change my MSDF text (in a 1s interval), I get a very noticable lag spike in VR (in 120Hz mode, Quest2).

I need to change a lot of text every 100ms. All text will be the last element in the hierarchy, so technically nothing except the text needs updating, but it seems as if ThreeMeshUI updates everything.
As a workaround I already tried to call text.update() and textContainer.update() in advance but no luck

Comparison to Desktop (very few operations)

I would appreciate any help, it would be cool if this could be fixed or if someone at least could tell me how to only update my text without updating anything else!

getProgramInfoLog and getShaderInfoLog eat up half of that lag time.

It looks to me as if each time the text gets updated, it creates a new shader program which is also contributing to the lag, but that's just speculation

I still can't explain the extensive update in VR compared to desktop...
