[Bug] Main Menu very high GPU usage

When you're in the main menu aka the screen with the soldier slideshow, GPU usage is through the roof. And no, this isn't uncapped FPS.

I'm locked to 144fps, so while I get that it's going to eat up some resources, when I am in the main menu, my GPU runs at full speed and runs at about 280W, even while BF is only running in the background. When I switch to a static menu like the weekly missions, the GPU usage drops rapidly, power consumption drops to about 30W.

I understand that the animated menu with high resolution models is going to run a bit higher than a static menu with some UI, but I don't think it should be this dramatic. The main menu is basically more demanding than playing Battlefield itself, which doesn't seem like intended behaviour.

Plus this has to be killing the performance in the menu for people with older/lower end hardware.
