Stutters and pauses on descent w/ Oculus Rift VR

[joby33y 152]

Taxiing and taking off is fine.  But after a flight of say an hour or so, upon descending I get annoyingly long pauses.  The spinning 'hourglass' wait icon and a real immersion-killer when looking right or left while in VR....

I am running Oculus Rift with the OpenXR runtime, latest nVidia drivers and my specs are below.  The problem feels like that same stutter-fest we all saw after SU5 when moving the camera around.  Although its gotten a lot better since SU6, I still get this problem after flying for awhile.  I'm not a newbie to this hobby and I am fairly adept at troubleshooting, but I cant help but think that something in my setup is not optimal.  Just doesn't feel right.  What would cause the problem to appear after flying for a while, but not at the start ? Experts chime in ! 

cheers,

I have XR off, running a G2 on a Radeon 5700 XT card. I got more stuttering with XR on. Most of my settings are ultra, turning that off maybe worth a shot.
