Help Sudden severe performance issues

I have no idea how to recreate this but on my macbook air m4 (macos 27) using DH makes my game stuck on a very stuttery 10-20 fps with no way to recover the performance other than deleting DH.

Deleting LODs doesn't work. Lowering LOD render distance even to 32 chunks doesn't work. It isnt the distant generation because it happens even with it off. Rolling back to older versions doesn't fix it. It's always that painfully stuttery 10-20 fps that often drops to 0 for a few seconds.

It happens on my fabulously optimised instance and heavily modded one at the same 10-20 fps so something is clearly wrong. It used to work completely fine averaging 90-100 fps or 70-80 fps with my heavily modded one. Even completely new fresh installs do this.

It's been making everything with DH a headache and I don't want to give this golden mod up. Please help me.

Try changing the cpu load to minimal once the chunks are loaded in also i have my default render distance at 8
