The D6000 can handle more displays at higher resolution than those other docks precisely because of its compression behavior, and also because again it doesn’t use native GPU outputs, but as I’ve just described, that brings significant drawbacks. The WD19TB only comes with the larger power supply option. And if you get the WD19, make sure you get the version with the correct power supply size based on your system’s requirements. If your system only has USB-C, then the WD19 uses native GPU output, but it can’t handle dual 4K 60 Hz. If your system has Thunderbolt 3, then you’d want the WD19TB dock if you have dual 4K displays. You need a dock that taps into native GPU outputs. The discrete GPU wouldn’t get used at all unless it’s the only one in the system. And on top of all that, you didn’t specify what system you’re using, but if it has both an Intel GPU and discrete GPU, then due to a limitation within Windows, only the Intel GPU can be used with displays connected via DisplayLink. And even without any of that, DisplayLink’s compression isn’t lossless, so you can end up with visible judder or blocky video for that reason alone. You can also see these types of issues if your USB bus is busy with other traffic, such as a large file transfer.

DisplayLink is fine for basic productivity tasks, but when lots of the display area is changing at once, such as when gaming or watching full screen video, that’s a lot more work to do, so your CPU gets busy and you can end up with jerky/judder-y video.

That’s why you’re seeing all that CPU activity and horrible performance.

DisplayLink uses a driver to have the CPU and GPU compress video for transmission as regular USB traffic, and then a chip in the dock decompresses it and transmits it to the displays. It’s because the Dxxxx series docks use DisplayLink rather than tapping into native GPU outputs.
