[Performance] Significantly worse FPS with Dynamo

Playing as certain characters results in a significantly lower framerate. Most of the characters it's just plus or minus a few FPS which is expected, but some it's a ~10% difference. Dynamo in particularly results in a large difference in FPS.

Repro steps:
1. Enable steam overlay FPS counter and launch game.
2. Load into sandbox as a character
3. Without moving, turn around to face wall directly behind (I made sure to position the camera so the lights on the wall were just in frame for consistency).
4. Wait ~10 seconds, then note FPS.
5. Swap character to Dynamo.
6. Wait ~10 seconds, then note change in FPS.

Results:
Most characters resulted in between 58-61fps. Some characters (Ivy, Lash, McGinnis, Warden) were a bit worse at 55-56fps. Dynamo was the worst at 52fps.

I am on a laptop with an i5 12500H using integrated Iris Xe graphics, on charge and set to Performance power profile.
Graphics settings: Everything lowest, 1440x900, 90Hz refresh rate, full resolution scale.
Cycled through all the characters 3 times to ensure laptop wasn't throttling - the results were the same within 1FPS each time.
