Godot 4.2.2: Unexpected Performance Drop when using GPU Particles vs CPU Particles

Testing particle performance. Weird: GPU base cost is higher than CPU!
CPU Particles (spawn amount 5): 60 FPS ➜ 35 FPS
CPU Particles (spawn amount 500): 60 FPS ➜ 7 FPS
GPU Particles (spawn amount 5): 60 FPS ➜ 13 FPS
