Indeed, this issue persists in v3.11. The original workaround (keeping Tixati open in the Bandwidth tab) worked again when I disabled the status bar under Settings > User Interface > Widget Styles. The speeds are also normal when you minimize Tixati; as stated in the topic and other comments, viewing the Transfers tab is what causes the speed drop.

I have noticed this behaviour over the years and versions but I have assumed it has to do with UI vs network processing. If I have a lot of torrents and they are all actively connected seeding and leeching then sitting on the transfer window or having a lot of torrent property details windows open seems to affect transfer speeds. I have always assumed it has been my ancient Win7 torrent machine with limited memory and little parallel threading capability.
These windows have a lot of information to be calculated and displayed; likewise with a lot of active torrents the data transfer/network side of things will be busy indeed. I have always been too lazy to do any diagnostics and my observations really are just anecdotal. Any conclusions are just WAGs. The devil is always in the details. I rarely see the problem now (3.12).
Depending on your network connection there can also be channel saturation issues between upload and download. I have also seen this apparent behaviour but it turned out to be just coincidental with stuff happening at the seeder/leecher end or because of my network provider. Crap happens even with gig fiber.
Motivated people should look at the CPU/memory stats when a problem happens.
The conflict, if any, may be at the OS level rather than anything Tixati does. Every version of Windows I have used has UI and network performance and stability issues. I would be curious if the same thing happens on Linux.
