Affinity Publisher 2.60 Resource Manager Tanks CPU and RAM Whenever Opened in a Large File

[Synrey]

Hi all, would like to raise an issue I've been having ever since Publisher 2.5 rolled out.
Whenever I open the resource manager in a very large file (200+ pages, 1000+ images) the resource manager caps out my CPU and RAM and is entirely unusable due to how slow it runs, provided it doesn't crash Publisher first.

It worked perfectly fine with these huge projects right up until 2.5 and if I rollback to 2.4.2 the CPU and RAM stay at a reasonable level even with the resource manager open. It always happens with any working file that gets this large.

Would love to know what got changed to cause a consistent issue like this because everything else runs a lot better in the newer versions. It's literally just the resource manager that's been giving me hell.

Using latest Win 10, haven't changed any hardware or relevant software since 2.5 came out.
Hardware accel is on, have tried both settings and messing with the RAM usage limiters (both up and down)

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 9600k
Memory: 24 GBytes DDR4
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660

I'd prefer not the attach the file(s) in question as they're client work but I'd be able to whip up something similar if absolutely need be.
