XD Taking a lot of RAM on Mac Big Sur 11.1
Since upgrading to the new OS on Mac (Big Sur), I've been noticing a TON of RAM being taken up with just a few files open. Before upgrading, I never experienced any lagging or slowdown and I've had 10 XD files open at the same time and working on them all. Once I upgraded to Big Sur, having two files open now slows down my computer substantially to where getting work done is impossible. Two files open is taking up about 15-20GB RAM. I design very large multi-sites and need multiple files open for reference and quality assurance. So this is a must for my work.
A few details:
- All XD files are saved in the cloud
- I'm on XD v.35.3.12.2 with Creative Cloud Sync 4.3.71.1
- I have a Mac Mini 2018 with 32GB 2667MHz DDR4 RAM and 500GB SSD
- I'm running macOS 11.1
- XD files range in size from 76MB to 540MB
- I tried restarting Mac, restarting XD, uninstalling XD (using CC app) and reinstalling it
