Render and Performance Extremely Slow after Version 22.3.0 (build 107)

[mjv-video]

Version 22.3.0 (build 107).  Since this update, performance has slowed unbearably in both playback and rendering.  Rendering won't even finish anymore-- it simply freezes whether local to AE or in AME.  Memory use is always much higher than it should be, also.  This smells of a memory leak-- but it is preventing me from rendering "anything" at the moment.  Memory is currently at 75% utilization with nothing being done-- just idle.  CPU is also at 75%-- idle.  I have 64 gig's ram, and i7 4.2ghz processor.  And playback is almost as bad-- essentially AE is not functional with anything other than very bare-bones projects after this update.

Adobe-- is this a problem that is being looked into related to this update?

Hi mjv-video,

Sorry for your issue.

Are you on macOS or Windows? Also, which GPU is installed on your computer? After Effects's performance is continuously getting better. However, we've seen some performance-related issues in recent releases. Are you using any third-party plug-ins? Also, have you tried resetting the preferences?

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu
