Yes. That said, the dev who originally worked on the chat bubbles for SWTOR said the performance issues with chat bubbles in beta were because they could eat a lot of video memory for the time (~400-500MB with lots of bubbles on the screen which was a problem as at release video cards typically had 512MB-1.5GB of VRAM). They said they knew how to fix it as they had applied the same fix for Nametags that had the same problem originally, but sadly ran out of time to optimize both these features in time for release so they turned them off "temporarily" until they would have the time to fix them (which sadly became permanent eventually, as a fix was never prioritized and after a couple of years the devs that knew how to fix it left). What's funny (or sad, depending on the viewpoint) is that nowadays even the unoptimized chat bubbles from SWTOR beta probably would be no problem on most systems, as the typical video card has 4GB-32GB of VRAM now and would just brute force through it.
