Frame Render Time went from milliseconds to 97 seconds

I have a project I made on this very same laptop (didn't change a thing) and now when I open the project, the app is stuck in a "not responding" state, and my cursor is stuck on the loading animation. It's just 6 simple trim path animations with track mattes on them, nothing 3D, no motion blur, no effects. Like I said, I made this entire thing on this laptop, and wherever I left it was playing back smooth and working fine. Now, I open it and the pre-comp that the animations are in just freezes the entire program, I can't move or click on anything because it's stuck trying to render a simple shape animation.

Any chance you have the Median plugin in your composition? There is a performance bug in 25.3 with that effect. 

 

To get in, you can press the Caps Lock button during startup and that'll stop the rendering of the frame to be able to take a look at the composition.
