Laggy Pathfinding

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to make a Zombie for my game, that follows you using PathFindingService. Now, the script for the pathfinding works, but when the player moves, the zombie starts to lag (Watch the video to see what I mean) How can I fix this?
Note: The zombie lags ONLY when the player is moving. If the player stands still, the zombie does not lag.
Pathfinding script:

local PathFindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local ZombieHumanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidZ")
local ZombieTorso = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso")

local Path = PathFindingService:CreatePath({
	AgentRadius = 3,
	AgentHeight = 5,
	AgentCanJump = false,
	AgentJumpHeight = 0,
	AgentMaxSlope = 45,
	AgentFallHeight = 10,
})

local PlayerLoadedEvent = script.Parent:WaitForChild("PlayerLoaded")

local Player

local function FollowPlayer()
	while true do
		Path:ComputeAsync(ZombieTorso.Position, Player.Position)
		local OldHRP = Player.Position
		local Waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints()
		for i, Waypoint in pairs(Waypoints) do
			ZombieHumanoid:MoveTo(Waypoint.Position)
			ZombieHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
           --Updates Waypoints if the player has moved--
			if OldHRP ~= Player.Position then
				break
			end
		end
		wait()
	end
end

-- gets the player's HumanoidRootPart --
PlayerLoadedEvent.Event:Connect(function(PlayerHRP)
	Player = PlayerHRP
	FollowPlayer()
end)

I think it might be due to network owner ship so you can do.

ZombieTorso:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

That did nothing. The zombie is still lagging when the player is moving.
