Zotero/Word connection EXTREMELY slow
I’m running Microsoft Word (16.52) and Zotero (5.0.97-beta.42+d8af5b792) on a 2019 MacBook Air (details below). My document is roughly 17000 words and citations are taking about 90-120 seconds to populate via the Word plugin. Is this normal behavior? If not, what should I do to troubleshoot? Shutting everything down and restarting does not seem to help.
Laptop details:
MacBook Air (2019)
1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
16 GB 2133 MHZ LPDDR3
macOS Big Sur (11.5.2)

2. Write in chunks in a separate document, then copy and paste back to your main document.
3. If necessary, use Windows (e.g. to refresh the final document).
Search the forum for older discussions about this. Word for Mac doesn't allow fast integration for Zotero or other software, so this is a limit that can't be solved by Zotero.
