Summary

In-World User Widgets seem to be too heavy on performance, using just a handful already cause a significant drop in frames per second. The more you place, the lower the frames go. You can go in a blank map and place like 5 down, and set up a button to remove them. Then compare your fps before and after.

Placing just 1 widget lowered my avg fps with ~5%.
Placing around 5 lowered avg fps 15-20%.
Placing 50 caused almost 70% lower avg fps.
