Tweens lagging, but gameplay works as normal

I’ve just started to notice that outside of studio, Tweening on items such as a pulsing effect on a part seem to stutter/jitter slightly. This spikes and resolves itself at random and only happens for certain people.
Only tweening is doing this, while it happens there are no frame drops.

Actions are performed every few seconds, the fastest loop waits for 2.

The tweening is looped and handled on the server, should I switch it to client instead?
Note this does not happen inside of studio.

I had this issue a few months ago as well and found significant improvement in animations/tweens when I switched over to the client:

Tweening model while also using AnimationController resulting in jittery movement

Hello, I’m working on creating a custom humanoid :MoveTo() functionality. This is in hopes to remove the humanoid from my NPC characters and alleviate any unnecessary overhead of humanoids to optimize on performance. The way I’m implementing this is by Tweening the rig’s root part to a predetermined location. The animations happen locally to ensure that they look smooth and also to lessen the load on the server. I’m running animations through an AnimationController. This works for the most pa…

Thanks, I’ll keep this in mind for the background stuff.
