Extreme lags in 5.0.88 on mac
Hi there,
I've noticed that basic Zotero functionality has seemed to have gotten almost unusably slow at the moment on mac. As in, I'll be editing an item, and there will be a noticable lag between doing something like typing an author's name and the keystrokes showing up in the app---and I actually have experienced keystrokes being dropped altogether.
Is anyone else seeing this?
(My configuration: a very fast machine (current i9 MBP 16, 32 gb ram, etc.; everything else runs at blazing speed; slowness persists after a reboot, running MacOS 10.15.5); a very large zotero library (I recently upgraded my storage quota to unlimited, because the 6gb was too small); only extensions I'm using are zotfile and better bibtex, and better bibtex is auto-saving a couple of large collections.

Can you provide a Debug ID for an operation that's slow?
edit: and during editing you shouldn't see any performance hit at all. BBT delays auto-exports until 1 sec (configurable) after the last edit of an item that affects that export, although it can't stop exports once running. But to make sure, you could either set autoExportDelay to something large (60 means a full minute), or set auto-export to 'on-idle'.
