What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

[When playing both by myself and with people via netplay, whenever a character's turn ends, the game lags. I am using top end hardware with OpenGL on an RTX 3080 and with friends with similarly powerful builds. I first thought it was my friend, then I tried it by myself and discovered it was lagging on my system too! His system seems to not be affected, unlike mine. I have entirely purged shadercaches in "User > Cache > Shader" and to no avail. Changed from OGL to Vulkan to no avail. Toggled Ubershaders to no avail. I believe this a regression of some sort. I tested Mario Party 6 and it runs fine. Mario Party 7 didnt have this bug last month so its definitely something pertaining to an update.]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

[Start a game of Mario Party 7 in Neon Heights (could be all maps as well, only tested Neon). After Bowser places his orbs, the game will lag WHENEVER a character's turn begins and/or ends. This was tested using OpenGL.]

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
