Motion tracker too slow in cc 2020

Hi.

I am using the motion tracker for the first time in cc 2020, but not new to motion tracker at all. I have noticed that it is too slow compared to cc 2018 version which is the last one I used. It takes almost 5 min. to track 1 sec. 720p video. It had never happened to me, the tracker has always been relatively fast. My computer is fast, Windows 10, 32gb ram, 4 ssd disks and a raid 0 of 6 hdd. My graphics card is a nvidia gtx 760 TI. In past versions motion tracker worked perfectly and fast enough for me but now it is not feasible to track a 20 sec video, it takes too long. I´m sure there is something wrong here. Is there something I should configure or some adjustment I could make on my computer or in the after effects configuration to fix it?
Thank you

Same problem here. It is slow as hell. And it wasn't in the past. I am using Mocha because the simple Motion Tracker takes forever for very simple tasks with any footage.

Solution copied from my post in other similar discussion about tracker that you can find here, hope it will fix your problemn:

"... in my case after a clean reinstall of windows 10 and after effects cc2020, began installing one by one every driver and program and trying the tracker after every single install. After this i found that what has been causing this problem was the program Acronis True Image 2019. Only needed to deactivate the Real Time protection and voila! Tracker worked perfectly again. Hope your problem is the same, otherwise you'll need to investigate what program is causing you the problem. If you are using a pen tablet check the drivers too, in my case the Wacom Bamboo mte450 driver was causing a little slow down on after effects too. Good luck!"

The speed of the motion tracker depends on the size of the Search Area (outside box), the size of the Feature region (inside box), and the frame rate of the clip balanced with your available system resources. If the shot is the same and the feature region and search areas are the same, then the time it takes to track the shot should be very similar. If it is not, let us know.
