What kind of effects are they exactly. ASS subtitles on most VOs renders the
subtitles for each frame, but the rendering is reasonably cheap. For GL, on
the other hand, there are two phases : the subtitles are uploaded when each
time the subtitles change, and overlaid on each frame. The overlay is cheap,
the upload is more costly.

Depending on the kind of effects, each single frame may need an upload.

The ASS file, and even only an excerpt of it, would be enough, provided you
can reproduce the slowness on a black frame (-demuxer rawvideo /dev/zero).
You can accentuate the problem by enlarging the font, adding more text and
heightening the framerate if necessary.
