Recent Issues with Dynamic Lighting

Hello! I recently converted my game from the old legacy dynamic lighting to the new version. However, I have run into an issue with performance as a result. Regardless of how large of a resolution I use with a map nor how many tokens I place on the map, the moment I place a PC token that has vision set to true, my performance tanks heavily. This was not an issue before when I used the old legacy lighting and I was hoping to see if anyone else had some suggestions to fix this issue? I've exhausted just about everything I know of from messing with in-game settings to reinstalling my graphics drivers.

Try toggling hardware acceleration in your browser settings.

Be sure to open your task manager and shut down any background functions on your computer. I’ve noticed my malware programs cause lag issues on Roll20. Also, clear your internet cache and hit shift+ctrl delete and clear out all your cookies etc. on chrome. That helps immensely with Roll20 performance. You may need to relog on Roll20 if you want to use the search function for tokens however. Roll20 uses a cookie to search. Also, don’t use exploration mode on Roll20 unless you’re on a TINY map (25x25 max), or if you have a self-aware AI supercomputer and are connected directly to a Roll20 server via Ethernet in lieu of the internet.

I did try clearing my cache as well but had no success with that. Strangely, I went through and remade every single one of my PC's tokens and that did help alleviate the performance problem somewhat but it is still present. Not sure how that process actually helped. I've been trying a lot of different things to resolve the issue. 
Update: I have now tested this issue with multiple of my campaigns and have found that is prevalent in all of them. The moment a token with vision is placed onto a light with dynamic lighting, the performance suffers greatly when dragging my perspective around the map. All other aspects of roll 20 itself or fine during this instance, 3d dice are fine, I am able to access the journal and compendium normally. It's just dragging tokens and my own view really stutters my browser.
