Two player splitscreen lag on xbox one

My wife and i play split screen survival, and while we have occasional Redstone lag issues we generally do what we can to keep it to a minimum. We just started playing the new bedrock version, deciding to give it a chance despite micro transactions ads thrown in our face every time we log on, and i must say I'm shocked that this is the version they want people to see. It's literally unplayable at times because of lag. If one of us goes too far away from the other: game breaking lag. If one of us goes near a village: game breaking lag. We can be running around in a 30x30 block area, no mob farms no villages, and still this version slows to a choppy frame per every couple of seconds. Two player local offline split screen should never be experiencing game breaking lag just from standard game play. I love this game but my main experience is offline survival with my wife, and if i can't do that then there's not much left for me.
