Does Denuvo hurt performance of Wolfenstein Youngblood? Denuvoless comparison.

I had another chance to compare the performance of a game, which was relieved from Denuvo DRM. This time it is Wolfenstein: Youngblood. In CPU bound scenarios you can expect quite a significant CPU performance improvement (up to 25%, depending on a particular scene).
Going from ~230 fps to ~280 fps might not seem exciting, but imagine if you have much slower CPU than my R5 5600. This would be ~100 fps vs. ~125 fps or even 50 fps vs 60 fps. This DRM steals your CPU performance, while increasing loading times and consuming more RAM. In some cases it even introduces additional stutters, which makes gameplay less smooth and controls less responsive.
