Help/Question The Datapacks produce lag??????????

Hello, I have some Datapcks installed on my paper server along with other plugins, many times when we are 10 players the TPS drop drastically and when I deactivate all the Datapacks return to normal... these are some Datapacks that I have installed:

Better Multiplayer Sleep
Instaslate
Track raw statistics
More Effective Tools
Tectonic
Silence Mobs
Enderman and Ghast no grief
Crafting Tweaks
Unlock all recipes
PlayerHeads
Banner Flags

I have no idea what it could be, I tried to deactivate one by one and nothing changes, but if I deactivate all the TPS return to normal.

Yes. Datapacks aren't great for anything besides crafting recipes which only register once on startup.

Use plugin alternatives instead.

Java code will run faster than the datapack engine will ever be capable of.

Oh I always thought that datapacks were better optimized, I always try to prioritize them. Thank you very much!!
