Using string functions as metamethods is the slowest possible way to use them. Do this instead:

fontString:SetText(gsub(format(t[3], value / t[2]), "%.", " , "))

Also, if you're going to be using format directly instead of letting SetFormattedText handle it, you should upvalue format, since TextStatusBar_UpdateTextStringWithValues can be called quite often. Add this at the top of your file, outside of any function:

local format, gsub = format, gsub

This creates local references to these global functions, so when you call format later, your code is using the faster local reference, instead of a slower global lookup.
