Degradation of performance over time? Designer Windows 11.

[nitro912gr]

Hello, did anybody else have experienced a degradation in designer's performance after some time of use?

I did noticed that lately I had what I call "windows vista experience" where during my workday that I close and open many different projects designer start to feel sluggish and it start lagging in response to whatever I try to do, even very basic tasks.

It all go away if I close the program and open again, but this is problematic and I try to figure out what is going on.

You could monitor resource usage in Task Manager (memory, CPU) to see if there is a gradual increase in load. Or if it's not caused by some conflicting application that takes the resources needed for ADe.
P.S. recent Win11 updates sometimes cause unwanted performance degradation.

this is the weirdest part, nothing seems to be chocking the system, I get readings like 50% RAM free, 10% usage of CPU (not even 16% that is usually 100% of one of the six cores) and 5% using of GPU, SSD barely read or write anything during that time that I do notice the performance drop.

Yes - The more I've been using Designer the more I've been experiencing this too. And it turns out we are not alone - there is already an ongoing thread all about it as well, with lots of people reporting the same thing:

The more work you do the more history steps can be undone

The default is 1024 steps, try reducing that to single figures, just to rule it out

 

Also, switch off Hardware Acceleration if on, again just to rule it out

I see in the other thread that this is not helping, but I will try anyway.

Reading the responses there it feels like some short of memory leak tho.

Well didn't expected I will have to get back in v1 but with summer upon us and jobs mounting in queue I don't feel like beta testing what supposed to be a stable release.

Now to deal with the stupid incompatibility between v1 and v2 files
