Symptoms

When I Boot up The Game, It's start's off stuttering and running at low fps (as most games) but it doesn't stop after 5 or 20 seconds, it stays for at least 20-30 minutes (i have an i5 10600kf), after compilation the game runs smooth, closing the game and rerunning it after i close it makes it recompile all the shader's from scratch,
i lose noticed my ram usage slowly creeping up 5 or 6gb (reporting from mangohud) just idling, after the compilation stops, it stop's creeping

Reproduction

boot up the game
check via "MANGOHUD=1" for memory usage
check "DXVK_HUD=compiler" for shader compilation
