Increased CPU usage (and temperature) since February creature update

The CPU usage skyrocketed around the February creature patch for me, it was always heavy (felt like an old MMO's engine with how it just spins the CPU without much GPU activity), but after this update the fans and heat went nuts.

Individual core CPU usage went up overall, and the main thread maxes out one core almost constantly.

CPU and temperature

Specs are Ryzen 5800X (non X3D) & 3070 GPU. While I use Linux, this particular issue shouldn't change for Windows users (aside from the Windows vs. Linux task scheduler).
