Pathfinding NPC movement stuttery and slow when i attempt to chance CFrame LookAt

Henlo frens. I am currently facing the issue as to my NPC being a very bad boi and stuttering when i change his CFrame. For reference, here is how he performs when i dont change CFrame to face character direction:

Now, here he is misbehaving and stuttering when all he has to do is face the character.

And here is the manuscript he has to read out for the play:

local collectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local pathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local simplePath = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.SimplePath)

local funnyMen = collectionService:GetTagged("GunnerImp")
local maxDistance = 100

local waypoints
local nextWaypointIndex
local reachedConnection
local blockedConnection

local path


local filterinoes = {}


for i, v in pairs(funnyMen) do
	table.insert(filterinoes, v)
end

for i, v in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
	table.insert(filterinoes, v.CharacterAdded:Wait())
end


local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = filterinoes


function idle(v)
	local humanoid = v:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
	
	task.spawn(function()
		
		local distance = nil
		local closestPlayer = nil
		local pathing = false

		while true do
			closestPlayer = simplePath.GetNearestCharacter(v.PrimaryPart.Position)
			wait()
			if closestPlayer ~= nil then
				path = pathfindingService:CreatePath()
				path:Run((closestPlayer.PrimaryPart.Position - CFrame.new(v.HumanoidRootPart.Position, closestPlayer.PrimaryPart.Position).LookVector * 30))
			end
		end
	end)
end

for i,v in pairs(funnyMen) do
	idle(v)
end

I am currently crying and chugging down a bottle of wine. I am a single mother and i dont know what to do with this child, do i need to send him to a psychologist and get evaluated for general anxiety disorder? is this just a phase? will i ever be a good mother? please help.
