Low FPS when at sim speed cpu limit.

Hi,
I recently started streaming some faf on twitch and noticed I had quite decent amount of weird lagg in stream. Especially later in the game when zooming in and out quickly. After thinking it was a bottleneck with encoding of the footage and or network bottlenecks I discovered that my fps drop to around 25 ingame when my max simspeed is reached. It gets a lot worse when I render the reclaim stats as well. Then I'm usually at around 12 fps. I have an i7 6700k and a rtx 2060 so (multithreaded) computing power shouldn't be much of an issue. GPU utilization is at around 30% when having that low fps. And only one core of the cpu is at ~100%. So if the render thread and the sim thread are independent I should not get worse fps when my sim speed drops. Are these low fps normal?
Atm I suspect my Windows to be unable to distribute the load of the renderer thread onto the other cores.

try to set high priority on the process.
Can also reduce amount of rings in settings. all of the attack, radar, antiair, build range rings eat alot of FPS

Just as an update: switching the level of details to low improved my fps in a sim speed cap scenario by about a factor of 3. With the reclaim overlay enabled my fps are still horrible but I can live with that. The low LOD models don't even look bad. Very weird.
Also I switched from dual adapter to fake full screen with two monitors which fixed my stream lagg. Also very weird.
I think a youtube series about weird bugs of FA (or call them quirks and features?) would be quite entertaining.

Are you using any UI mods? Some of them do bad things, try without

afaik it is a new issue and will be fixed soon. probably related to scoreboard refreshing to often or something like that (i have no idea tbh)
