Many Mac users indeed experience debilitating slowness in InDesign 2025. For some users (but not all), the 20.1 update fixed the issue. It looks like it didn't help in your case.
You can try these general troubleshooting steps, which also helped some users:

If it doesn't help, try to revert to an earlier version of InDesign 2025 (although I have to mention that it's not known to address the slowness issue you describe). You can do so in Creative Cloud app > InDesign > Other Versions menu.
If it doesn't help, then the only known solution at this point is to revert to InDesign 2024 until Adobe fixes the problem. You can install InDesign 2024 from the Creative Cloud app. (Yes, I do realize this all can be maddening.)
