Disclaimer: I have not looked at the demo you're trying to run. I'm no opengl expert so my advice might be a bit off, but I do know the basics of gl programming.
I'm not familiar with JavaFX opengl rendering algorithm but is it really needed to create a new (sub)texture object so many times? You're basically asking the GPU to allocate a new piece of vmemory every time *and* uploading your data to it *and* destroying it afterwards when no longer needed... It might be better to either cache your textures and upload your data to it async (lots of methods to do that online) or have some kind of texture atlas or most likely: revise the way the jfx rendering algorithm works. Also, you're profiling CPU time of the glTexSubImage2D function, which might stall (sync call possibly) on iOS if the gpu is busy.
