I think I found the issue you are referring to: https://github.com/space-wizards/RobustToolbox/issues/891 (2019) and PRs that address it https://github.com/space-wizards/RobustToolbox/pull/1606 (2021), https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/pull/3491 (2021)
What I don't understand is what makes you think it's an issue with .NET or its ecosystem: if you continuously re-parse large amount of entities defined in YAML, then any remotely naive approach is going to be expensive regardless of the underlying stack. Rust, C++ or C#, and respective serialization libraries only can do as much as define the threshold beyond which the scaling becomes impossible, hell, there's a good change that .NET's SRV GC could have been mitigating otherwise even worse failure mode caused by high allocation traffic, and if the data was shared, you'd hate
Read the rest
to see the flamegraphs of entities shared through Arc or shared_ptr.
SS14 seems to have quite complex domain problem to solve, so a requirement for an entirely custom extensive (and impressive) implementation might seem unfortunate but not uncharacteristic.
