Premiere Pro 24.1 unpredictable performance on M2 PRO

Others have brought this up and I can't see any solutions except to wait for a release that makes Premiere Pro v24.x not hang on every command with the spinning disc. I not only have all the symptoms others have stated but I also have this weird audio problem whereby the audio track is silent on repeated tries to playback. Then it just works. And then it fails again. For a while.

 

The one indication I can see in the lagging performence behavior of 24.1 appears to relate to other interconnected features being automatically engaged. Text transcription, for example, might send the CPU off to think a bit before that minor audio cut/edit is completed many seconds later. All functions appear to be waiting for something before proceeding with whatever that step entails. I do find that this behavoir worsens over time and that if the app is restarted frequently, the amount of waiting is diminished but grows again. Somewhere there is a bug causing anything and everything in Premiere Pro to wait. Every step. And I suspect new AI features may be part of the problem, with their CPU/GPU intensive demands for even the most innoccuous of tasks. 

 

Grr. Please fix this ASAP. Top priority, please!

    It's not immediately apparent from your post, what behavior you'd like us to fix...? 

    It sounds like you're experiencing pretty bad performance. To address it, we'd need to know the specific steps you're taking, that provoke the poor performance. [Lots of users see great performance on M2 machines, myself included, so we're hopeful that there's some other issue provoking the problem.] And yes, text transcription can be pretty demanding...

    That's always been true. 

    > I do find that this behavoir worsens over time and that if the app is restarted frequently, the amount of waiting is diminished but grows again.

    That's an interesting clue! What are you doing during these PPro sessions, in which the performance worsens? How much memory are you reserving for other applications, in PPro's memory prefs?
