Monday morning lag which wasn't there Friday night! (Solved - use of plugin Clear)

Question

Monday morning and I'm getting lag in a project that was perfectly fine on Friday night. Arrggh!
Getting 0.5-1s delays every time I click on a clip in the timeline before the frame shows in the program monitor and delays for all editing operations.

Using ProRes 720p proxies (with OCFs offline), so they should take next to no time to decode (as was happening last week)
Duplicate frames is off so it's not that
Tried Audio input to none, no difference
I am using LucidLink (but all pinned i.e. on my hard drive), it could be that, but why is it slow now and fine last week (and selects sequences don't have the lag)
This morning, I have linked the sequence within the frame.io panel to import marker notes, so it could be that, but I tried unlinking and deleting the markers and it didn't fix it. I also tried opening an autosave before I did this and it was laggy, so I don't think it's that.
Not using my BMD decklink so it's not that
Could be a clue in that the sequence is no longer all yellow bar, it has a lot of nothing. Selects sequences and sync sequences are all yellow and don't have the lag.
I'm not a big fan of deleting the cache, but I did try it and it didn't make any difference

#solved by removing all instances of the Audio plugin Supertone Clear (Goyo) from the project (I really had to go to older sequences and remove it from there and it wasn't enough to offline the actual plugin in prefs).

I've used this plugin before and it was fine, but this time it seems to have gone wrong (this time I was using it as clip effect, last time as a track effect, but who knows). This is not the first time I've slowed a project down with audio plugins (Hello Izotope).

I would hestiate to say it can never work - people's mileage may vary and it might be different on Mac/Win.

Either way that is the last time I am going use any 3rd party audio plugins within Premiere - I've been burned for the last time. If I need a clip effect, I'll send it to Audition and do it there - that way it's just a wav in the timeline and nothing to go wrong.

Make new project and import old one.Reset Preferences.Delete cache. (you should do that every once in a while even you have no issue, I do).
