[GAMEPLAY] FPS drops when space bar is held/pressed

Since the new patch, when I'm in game and press/hold the space bar, my FPS drops from my stable 60 FPS to sub 30 FPS, dropping further the longer I hold it it seems. Pressing Y however has no effect of FPS.

I have no other programs open, and have tried repairing the client, nothing seems to fix it.

I had a ton of stuttering with my fps sometimes dropping below 10 or 8 fps from 60. I initially thought it was things like the new tower animations or anything that seemed to happen around the same time as the drops but I was able to figure out it was the client trying to write too many log files and waiting for disc access. The rest of the details regarding log file problems are here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/ihaITjFk-client-client-logs-create-extreme-stuttering

If you feel this issue may apply to you as well, I can update the main post with a more comprehensive list of the offending files and how to block league from trying to write to them and regain your FPS like I did.

Tzayad, sorry for my lateness in replying. I am unfamiliar with the new boards layout so I never noticed your response. I will go ahead and list my fix on the linked post and I hope you will find it useful.
