I'm using RunService:BindToRenderStep to make a brick stay relative to the camera, and it works very well but it causes major framerate drops. Like 60 FPS to 25. For some reason, it happens only when you move the camera, and if I zoom out really far from the map, no more framerate drops. Here's the code. It's a module script, but I've tried it out of one and the same thing happened.

local module = {}
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local rightSideOffset = CFrame.new(2,0,-2)
local rightSideRotation = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),math.rad(0),math.rad(35))
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

module.InitiateHUD = function()
	local rightSide = Instance.new("Part", cam)
	rightSide.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Custom
	rightSide.CFrame = cam.CoordinateFrame*rightSideOffset*rightSideRotation
	rightSide.Anchored = true
	rightSide.Transparency = 0.7
	rightSide.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
	rightSide.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	rightSide.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	rightSide.Size = Vector3.new(1.5,0.2,3)
	rightSide.CanCollide = false
	runService:BindToRenderStep("positionRightSideHUD", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value, function() rightSide.CFrame = cam.CoordinateFrame*rightSideOffset*rightSideRotation end)
end

Is the script that calls the function in a loop?

There is another script that uses this module and runs the function, InitiateHUD.

The :BindToRenderStep function is positioning the block relative to the camera every frame. That's what's looping.

That's why, looping anything that changes something like a position to something that changes so smelly is the problem

I don't think so. If I make the part fully transparent, no more framerate drops. I put GUI's on that part and they work fine, without framerate drops, only if the main part is fully transparent.
