Loading sets from start.gg, and swapping players with a lot of data loaded, makes TSH take way too much CPU time

Description
Basically, TSH might export a LOT of things now when working with start.gg, program_state.json is a huge file, and writing / changing a lot of things in it at once (which happens when loading and swapping) really takes a lot of CPU time. On some computers simply swapping the players sends TSH to 100% CPU Usage, while OBS starts dropping frames until TSH finishes swapping, which takes a few seconds.
Solutions to that would be :
- Splitting the state JSON into different files (for example : scoreboard (without history) ; match/tournament history / bracket / player list / stream queue )
- Avoiding complete rewrites when swapping

Research direction
Start by profiling the loading and player-swapping paths while monitoring writes to the large program_state.json file and CPU usage. Compare the current complete rewrites with the proposed split-state approach; done means swapping and loading no longer drive TSH to 100% CPU or cause OBS to drop frames.
