Resident Evil Village was a good example of that. People tested the two versions, and the cracked one was significantly faster on all runs. Even media reported on it.

They even ended up removing denuvo from resident evil because of the performance issues

Capcom did not remove Denuvo due performance impacts. They released an update without it because the big bucks from selling the game happen early in the games lifespan, not year or two later.
Denuvo is a license model, so the longer game contains it, the longer the company needs to pay for the license.
It's merely a cost savings removal, as happens with many games that contain Denuvo.
