Map performance degrades severely over time

Open VRChat and load a reasonably complex world
Example: An old Neon Divide map that hasn't been updated in 2 years (This also occurs with more modern maps, but this map's performance is so bad it's a useful test case)
Stand somewhere in the map, and watch performance degrade sharply over a few minutes
This seems to be a CPU issue, CPU usage increases over time
On some hardware configurations, performance may jump back up again and then start degrading. Something to do with threads getting overloaded and new ones being spun up

Is this issue still occurring? Is it only on PC? I don't seem to have this issue on the world you provided.

Hardware stats in description of this video taken just now showing the issue:
(Observe performance halving over the course of 60 seconds after rejoining the world)
Further context/details:
- We have 2 maps we see this happening on
- This issue was happening in neither map about ~2 months back
- At some point in the past ~2 months this performance issue started happening on both maps
- One of the maps (The one linked in the post) has not been touched in over 3 years, so it really can't be anything we did
Could be to do with mipmap streaming or anything new added to VRC in the past while? We've seen this on 3 separate PC machines, in both Desktop and in VR, and they all have different combos of CPU and GPU architecture
Would be willing to retest on older VRC builds if we can get access
