This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Switch on physics/common/physics_interpolation , and Godot will now automatically interpolate objects on rendered frames so they look super smooth.

Because the model has a huge number of polygons and we have to play at 60 frames per second. There are often thousands or even tens of thousands of polygons that go into a fully rendered model. With thousands of polygons potentially colliding, that can easily mean millions of collision checks every frame.
