I usually export the song and add the VSTs in a DAW leaving BIAB with less to do. In a DAW it is easy run one instance of Kontakt or SampleTank and point individual tracks to instruments in the VST thereby greatly reducing the work the PC has to do. I don’t know if you can or how to do similar in BIAB.

Each new instance of say Kontakt places a load on your PC. Having one instance and using the Multi saves a heap. I go even further if I have a lot going on and as I said freeze the tracks I’m happy with which converts them to audio thereby no longer using the VST this really reduces the load. It is easy to unfreeze and bring the MIDI back for further editing if need be,

This is most likely different to what you’re doing but I would try this if nothing else to eliminate BIAB as an issue,
