XD is slowing down considerably

[widiantoz98129901]

Hi, I'm a long time user of XD and I've been using it since it first came out. But I wonder why with each new update XD runs slower and slower? It also consumes a lot of memory with the latest update to version 31.2.12.4. I can only use XD for a couple of minutes and afterward, I will have to wait for almost a minute for every 5-10 minutes of use. Working with cloud documents and coediting at this speed rate is almost impossible. Perhaps it has got something to do with MacOS Catalina 10.15.6?

I really wish XD can run as fast as in its early days, but it seems that if this trend continues I will have to switch to Figma entirely. I was paid hourly as a UX/UI freelancer and I can't seem to justify my clients paying me for waiting to use XD, instead of using it to deliver a result.

Can you somehow make XD runs faster in the next update? Please?
