After effects being extremely slow

[vitaly5FC2]

I have been using after effects for the better part of a year, and for the last 2 months it has been excruciatingly slow, I use quarter, and even then it's 5 seconds for one frame, and when I check what frames take the most time, it's usually just text with glow even though I havent had a problem with it ever. Also when I render frames, the previous as to what I just render get un-rendered? It also crashes a lot on random. I reinstalled after effects several times, I restart it every 5 minutes, I purge and clear media and disk cache all the time, and then when I open the memory details, it says that there are two instances of ae running and that exceeds the allowed ram? I checked the task manager and only one instance of ae is open, so If there is anything I can do, pleast tell, thanks

Sorry to hear you're not getting the performance that you are expecting.

Slow rendering is usually processor speed, assuming After Effects has sufficient RAM to render the frames.

Frequenct crashes are usually a conflict with third party add-ons.  Starting in Safe Mode can be helpful in troubleshooting crashes.
