Description
Describe the bug
Any time I enter the Showroom level of Budget Cuts, the performance grinds to an unplayable level. (>150ms frame timing) The previous levels and arcade mode have not shown this issue.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Play Budget Cuts
- Reach the Showroom level (or start a new game from there)

- SteamVR version: beta 1.10.3
- Steam client version: Build date Dec 16 2019
- Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes

Research direction
Start by reproducing Budget Cuts' Showroom level on Ubuntu with the listed SteamVR, Steam client, and graphics driver versions, then compare its frame timing with earlier levels and arcade mode. Use the requested SteamVR System Information and Perf Data to identify what changes when the issue appears; done means the Showroom level no longer exceeds the reported unplayable frame timing.
