I am having the same issue, its certainly villager related. The closer I get to urban areas the slower the game gets, in the rural areas (or smaller villages) its fine. Everything was fine before this last update 1.20.30.
Edit: also noticed at night when most villagers are asleep the game goes back to normal speed (I saw the redstone ticks slow as well) in urban areas, so thats kind of nice... but yea this last update almost makes the game unplayable, hope it gets solved soon.
Final Edit: Whatever was in update 1.20.31 it seemed to fix the issue with the villagers and the redstone ticks. It works fine for me, thanks team!
