I definitely recall part of the setup of Denuvo involves the developer having to call into it on many phases of the game running. But I specifically remember there was a contention where one dev decided to call it every frame, which thrashed some part of the computer, and even Denuvo engineers themselves said that’s a bad idea. It’s more likely something like a common event, something like a player getting a kill, or even loading between levels.

We’re all going to be competing on data about exactly how much Denuvo affects performance, when even common accessibility technologies and other modern game features have effects too. To me, it’s a simple question of whether it’s smooth and playable, and especially in Capcom’s case I can say performance has generally been good.
