DCA has been shown demonstrably to outperform timing the market, at least as the optimal average choice

However DCA also underperforms investing a lump sum all at once (most of the time)
In absolute terms yes, but DCA also gives you less risk (direct easy to understand ways - you still have some of your $ - and less easy to understand ways, such as market declines means you have a lower cost basis).

Risk-adjusted, I wonder what the performance is like?

That's not DCA.
