The program is almost at a standstill

    You'll have to provide more details than that — and a Debug ID for a specific operation that's slow — but if you're using a touchscreen PC, try closing the tag selector in the bottom left of Zotero.

    Actually, it's the "Automatic Zotero to BibTeX exporter" extension you installed. Uninstall it and the slowness will almost certainly go away.
  • dstillman
    (We should probably contact the author of that extension and ask them to either fix the slowness or have the extension disable itself when the last operation took too long.)

    HI thanks,
    The debug i.d. is D1850245048. I tried to narrow the problem down and seems to occur when syncing and when creating a web page (probably others, but this for sure).

    I will disable the bibtex exporter right now.
    thank you

    Better BibTeX has a built-in auto-export that you can set to trigger when Zotero is idle. It uses extensive export caching, too, so the performance hit should in any case be a lot less -- I've seen order-of-magnitude speedups.
