Issues fixed

Poor performance

Use `-USEALLAVAILABLECORES` command line argument^[2]
Whilst widely shared,^[3] this is potentially a placebo.

Use `-NOTEXTURESTREAMING` command line argument^[2]
This command loads all texures into memory. As such, high VRAM (8 GB) and system memory (16 GB) is recommended.^[2]

Fix/reduce stuttering

Lower the Texture Streaming Pool Size^[4]

Turn down Dynamic Shadow Resolution^[4]

Turn down Cascaded Shadow Map Resolution^[4]
