It also gets a lot worse when you use outlinesize. The way things are implemented in MythUI, if your outlinesize is N, the outline is created by drawing 8N separate copies of the text. (This is the number of pixels in the perimeter of a square with edge length 2N+1.) It may not be quite this bad, though, if the MythUI image cache is getting involved. If I had thought about this earlier, I would have advised caution with using outlinesize.</div>
