Adobe Indesign is too slow takes too long to release objects...its on my last nerve

Adobe Indesign is too slow takes too long to release objects...its on my last nerve InDesign - it's getting on my last nerve. Everything was fine until the 24-25 update. The worst of it is when I select an object...a text box or image box...the item will remain selected for a few more seconds...sometimes over 10 seconds. It thinks every time I do any action. I have been working with Indesign from the first edition to today, but nothing like this before. Indesign and MAC are together forming a major pain for me. I am used to moving fast, but this thing is always thinking. I even had to keep turning off active Preflight to minimize stalling. Its up to or over 5 seconds when jumping from page to page. It seems like the longer I work the worst it gets. I have tried all the remedies that exist online and nothing. I wish I can bring my Mac Pro desktop to Adobe MAX 2025 so I can demonstrate this to Indesign engineers.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

We have a compendium of things you can try. Sometimes a reset of preferences helps this problem; sometimes turning on or off certain features helps. Try them all for yourself:
