Since updating to Version 5.0.3, the mod has been practically unplayable. Every 10-15 seconds, there are huge lag spikes that max out all cores on my CPU to 100% as well as causing any other open programs to freeze(including the Windows Desktop). This happens even if I set the graphics settings to the lowest possible. It also happens even if I have no other open applications except for the game itself. This has not happened when using an older version of the mod, like version 5.0.1 or version 5.0.0. I have no idea why this is happening, as I have not installed any major programs recently. I do have Avast Antivirus installed on my computer with the Behavior Shield activated, if that affects the performance of the mod.
