This sounds a bit exaggerated. Please check if you are using insane Intelligence settings, resulting in a completely messed up map. I have tested with the default settings, and there was never any problem.
Sure, sh3Gen is adding a lot of stuff that the game engine has to process, so of course there will be a performance impact.
But from the technical point of view, the maximum additional workload will be a couple of hundred additional graphic primitives which have to be rendered in the map. I am programming 3D graphics in other contexts and never saw a drastic performance hit with even thousands of comparably simple primitives, so if UBI's implementation isn't completely fubar, there should not be such a drastic impact.
I will however take this report very seriously and test myself as soon as I have GWX running.
Some hints how this could be circumvented:
-disable map output through Sh3Gen's General Options
-set your intelligence level to default
-close Sh3Gen when it's finished generating files
