So I had a feeling, but... after today, I can confirm that Spout2 is VERY poorly designed, in ways that affect performance and stability which can't be fixed without a complete redesign.
It's a real shame the entire Windows VTuber world relies on this mess of a system...
It uses a *single* shared texture, and uses CPU side synchronization to mutex updates and reads. You end up doing CPU blocking copies on both ends.
This is horrible for GPU performance, it's basically the worst way you could do this short of full CPU data copying.
