no lag on first save (right before finding withers)
no lag on any save in my last playthrough (sided with the grove, and no vandalism)
lag seems to be at its WORST in this tunnel, and the big statues themselves seem to move every few seconds

I wouldn't assume the game would even render such a thing outside of the area, but perhaps there is some code that says items should settle in place before they fully despawn, so you don't load back into an area with something mid air

resource monitor doesn't show CPU or VRAM being capped out, so this doesn't seem like a memory leak, it feels like the game is constantly rendering the physics of this

I also destroyed those statues a while ago. While I didn't notice any issues at the time, that was days before Patch 3 came out.
