No offense I think those questions are like for age beign on Pentium 2?
How many linked objects do you have in your file?
Or they are embedded?
Linked files, very small
Do you work locally or remotely - network, cloud, external drive?
NVMe 7400/6500 MB/s SSD PCIe4
What kind of drives do you have?
SSD
Which AntiVirus software do you use?
Really?
How many fonts do you have installed / activated in your system?
Using blazing fast adobe service like Adobe Fonts
2x graphics cards do not accelerate work in the InDesign in any significant way.
Still it operates like on software engine or something.
Number of cores doesn't matter - InDesign is still a single thread application.
Well that sucks.
And why do you have to work on highest display settings?
Because I can? If there is that feature, why should not I?
I have simple 2 page leaflet nothing crazy. All adobe apps suppose to work like pushing the limits. Not spending all the time on forum, why their badly witten apps are so slow.
I don't know. It fill like the crazy world we live in and with all that political agendas, it seems to me that many adobe users are defending that having choppy slow broken apps is the new normal. Adobe is multibillion company so having questing what kind of Antivirus do I have in 2024. I bet I live in modern Europen country and working in 16 years in this field and it's getting worst and worts. If Adobe can't use all benefits from strong GPUs and all cores, well then something is wrong. Not on my side.

Yes, you are right - InDesign should be able to utilise more cores.
But this forum isn't flooded with posts from users experiencing extreme lags - so it's like there is something wrong with your setup.
Most of the time I work on a mid-range laptop with 4x cores with HT and only 16GB of RAM and swap disabled - as opposed to my desktop with 40x cores and 512GB of RAM - and I don't feel any lagging at all.
The only time I feel InDesign lagging is when I get file from someone with links to network files that I don't have access to.
One more question - do you have problem with ALL files - or only with some?
I've been having this exact same issue since upgrading my PC. I'm on a Xeon Gold 6140 with 32GB of RAM. Also using an Radeon RX590, not that that matters on Windows, unfortunately.
Everything is incredibly slow on any InDesign file. The same files works flawlessly on my Macbook.

W10 or W11? Which AntiVirus software?
What is Task Manager showing?
Have you upgraded your pc AND reinstalled InDesign from scratch?
At several points over the last few months while trying to pinpoint this issue, yes, it was a fresh install.
I also uninstalled/reinstalled yesterday, which is why I went ahead and left it open all night for your "housekeeping" suggestion.

From your initial messages I thought that it's a fresh install - if it's a few months old then housekeeping suggestion doesn't apply.
