the performance is terrible (don't think it's been updated in over a year or year and a half?). can't even play 10 bit 1080p smoothly on a Ryzen 3600 with the MS Store video extension, whereas you can play it on an AVXless (Haswell gen) Pentium G3258 (2c2t) with a recent MPC-BE or mpv. there have been at least 3 major updates with regards to speed since last december or so with dav1d.
As a matter of fact, AV1 decoding is computerintensive. Check if your GPU and CPU is capable of decoding AV1. As far as I know, Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series GPU and Intel Tiger Lake CPU support AV1 hardware decoding. If your hardware is underpower, playing AV1 can be troublesome.
