How to further debug "Render Preparation" stutters?

[steveyh25]

I run the linux version (2.0.23) of the game on linux mint 22, and at random times I'm getting stutter / audio crackle, even when the character is stood still. The game runs smoothly the vast majority of the time, but I sometimes have "Render preparation" take EXTREME amounts of time, like 200ms+. I'm just wondering if there's any other debug options I can turn on to try find the cause of this? I've tried various nvidia drivers from 535 to 560, and other (more graphically intensive?) games don't have the same issue. My gpu usage is at approx 35%:
