Well, I have a solution.

go to %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\ and rename the "1.0" to "1.0 old ver" and restart Publisher.

This is work for me. 

didn't test for too long, but this fix for the time being. 

Thanks~

Mine too. Before the update to version 1.9 everything was very fast. Since the update, the program starts much slower and everything feels slow. Especially when typing text, there is a big pause until the letters appear. I have also disabled OpenCL, but without improvement.

I have the same issue here. @NODEUS, that solution worked for me too!  Thank god, I thought it was my AMD processor for a moment there.

Fix helped me, but I can see there is still quite a lot of UI jitter going on, especially when dragging elements around. I double checked the settings and the new GPU acceleration is on.

After about 5 minutes of editing it is acting very sluggish again, though not as bad as before. All of the elements on the screen are constantly flickering and refreshing as I make changes.

This is really annoying. I can't even type in a text box without massive lag.

The biggest issue I have with 1.9, other than the return of the lag (which happens over an hour), is that the text zoom is horrible.  All my text is jagged and zooming out from documents produces barely legible documents.  I can't stand it.  Using Affinity has been a labor of frustration for me.  It's still no where near as stable as Serif was, even though Serif was clunky with large documents... it was rock solid and never crashed.

I can confirm this issue with the horrible performance after upgrading to 1.9. Also using an AMD Ryzen 3700X.

I can also confirm nodeus' workaround solving the - but I investigated further and found out that it is enough to delete/rename the file WindowProfile.xml in %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\Workspaces\Publisher. So all other settings despite of the window positions will be kept. Hope this helps someone as long as the issue is not fixed by affinity.

Can confirm that issue on my (oldish) hardware (4790K, gtx970, 32GB ram) too.
1.8 was way smoother.

That fix from @stedaho also works for me.
Not quite as smooth as 1.8 but at least i can work without getting an headache.

In my case the workaround/fix suggested by @nodeus didn't work. My impression is that the issue affects AMD powered machines to a larger extend as Intel powered ones.

In particular typing in textframes is a nightmare. Interesstingly APub never consumes more than 4% of the CPU (as per Windows Task Manager) but stutters while typing. Sometimes APub runs two seconds behind my fingers...

Thanks all. We figured it out. It's actually the Paragraph panel that's causing the slowdown. If this is opened/in view, the app seems to be quite slow. CTRL reset / renaming the app data will start the app with the paragraph panel hidden, so it looks like it fixes the issue (until you open it back up). The workaround for now would be not to have it in view.

Good to know that the Paragraph panel is the cause of the problem. So let's hope for a quick fix. Because... running a DTP app without the Paragraph panel...?

This definitely works, thank you. I have done little looking into the differences between the newly instantiated folders and the prior ones, but there are some differences here and there. Maybe there is a mistake in the update process to update a settings xml files I can see.

 

Hopefully an update fixes this issue, as it is a bit annoying how it clears out a lot in this process.

 

 

UPDATE:

Only works temporarily. Begins lagging again not too long after, despite so few (literally not even 5 text boxes on screen)
