cloth physics causing stuttering(frametime spikes)

basically this. i am trying my luck here on the mighty ue forum, hoping that some ue guru shows up. here, my post on the forums(of mordhau, a game built on UE4), it contains all you need to know: https://mordhau.com/forum/topic/16807/cloth-physics-causing-stuttering/

any help or hint, no matter how small will be appreciated. i am doing this just for the eye candy, since i hate to see a static tabard
