Zotero abruptly slow
Hello
Abruptly 2 days ago Zotero started running very slow. It is almost a night and day change. I disabled automatic updates and this did not help. It is taking several minutes to put a citation in a paragraph with only 500 words and when working on current documents I have had to wait for over 10 minutes and usually I just give up and force the application to quit so I can move on.
Below is the debugging ID. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Prior to the last 2 days my citations would update in only a few seconds

1. With Zotero and Word running open Activity Monitor.app, switch to the CPU tab, right-click on the columns and add the App Nap column
2. Find Zotero in the list, and select it, then make sure you see the App Nap column (you might need to enlarge the window or scroll to the right).
3. Go into Word and attempt to use the Zotero plugin. Do not press the plugin buttons multiple times, or switch to the Zotero application, instead switch to the Activity Monitor and see if under Zotero in column App Nap it says "Yes".
And then to test with App Nap enabled, you can hide Zotero with Cmd-H, wait a bit (30 seconds, a minute) until you see "Yes" for App Nap for Zotero in Activity Monitor, and then try.
Per your request, I hid Zotero, waited for App Nap to show yes, then inserted citation with tag window open, and it was slow. Tried again with tag window closed, and was still slow. Then did debug. ID is D629550824. The performance was roughly normal while running the debug process. Realized I did not wait for App Nap to turn to yes, so redid the debug process while waiting for AppNap to turn to yes first. Here is ID: D825679233. This time it was slow to enable me to insert the citation (meaning the Add/Edit Citation window was slow to appear). Tag window was closed during the debug runs.
Thanks for your help.
