FL Studio has a serious CPU problem

The picture is pretty self explanatory. FL is maxing out its available CPU usage but its not even scratching the surface. I have ensured multithreaded processing is enabled for every single VST in the project too. Im using 12.5 build 53.

I know i'm not the only one experiencing this. I've tried everything, Im on the high perf power plan, I lowered my screen resolution from 4k to 1080p so the DWM uses less CPU, i've tried undervolting my CPU in case it was somehow power limiting even though there is nothing to suggest i'm hitting a power limit. I dont know what else I can try. I get by with 95% reported CPU usage until I load an Ozone 7 instance and then FL just chokes. It's not underrunning, there are zero reported underruns, it just drops out and stutters a lot.
