[MCPE-162871] Low FPS after new update 1.19.31

Since the new 1.19.31 Hotfix update that came out 10/5/2022 the game has been very laggy like the FPS is really low. And the movements are also very slow like jumping, swinging a sword/axe/etc.

I've tried changing a lot of different settings, turning things on and off, increasing and decreasing things in the settings and nothing has worked to improve these issues.

I don't know the cause. There's no specific thing that happens to cause it, it's just there randomly for seemingly no reason. It's only been happening since the new update so I assume it's caused from that.

I have to disagree with the "invalid" diagnosis, this is definitely a bug. It didn't occur until the 1.19.31 update. (Curiously, it also occurred on the same update last cycle, 1.18.31)

And it's not simply "laggy" - food takes twice as long to eat, mobs take a step every "tick", stop pathfinding and stand still (animation and everything), only to take another step a second later.

This can be easily documented on the Switch, where my kids primarily play, and occurs with newly created worlds as well as worlds created prior to 1.18.31.

I have noticed it is slower when there is more water around, and that grass blocks are spreading under sea grass, so I might attribute it to that, but all we can do is speculate. Could be that, could be anything, could be some weird way the system reacts to 1.*.31 updates, for all we know.
