Hi,
I'm experiencing lately that Indesign is very slow even though I'm working on a very simple design. Backdrop 4m x 2,5 mts with a couple a png's and some vector illustations. Also with importing AI vecor files (complex but only 700 kb) Indesign is slow.
I work on a iMac 2021 M1 16 Gb computer. So that can't be the problem. Who is having the same problem?
Is this something between Adobe and MacOS Monterey?

Having the same problem.
Something as simple as selecting the Character pallete is causing 25 seconds of spinning beach ball. A restart seemed to help briefly, but I restarting the machine every time you want to open a new file can't be the solution.
Working on a 2018 Mac Mini, 3.2 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7, files stored on local hardwired server.
Regretting upgrading to Monterey... HALP!

Honestly I used to love this program, now it's a nightmare todo any simple task takes ages
sometimes works good for few minutes but it seems the cache and a problem when I work with text, starts to runs a very slow pace.
With Monterrey I was hopping would run fast but even is worst.
I have a acBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) ,
2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
1 T hard drive
Is taking me days to do a simple catalog. I have being experience this probem in the last 2 years, very bad performance.
cheers. ( I wouldn't like to pay for this)

I've had the same problems with Adobe Creative Suite since the update to Monterey. Everything is horribly slow but InDesign drives me the most crazy. My programs are updated to the 2022 versions and it doesn't matter what file I open or what functions I turn off and on, which would not be a satisfactory fix anyway. Adobe needs to get Creative Suite fixed to run efficiently since we pay a ton for the use of these programs indefinitely. This has doubled my time on many projects.

I'm having this same issue lately. I tried turning off my wifi connection and that actually seems to help. It seems that InDesign is "pinging" that connection maybe to resolve fonts or something. Freaking annoying regardless. They need to get this fixed...

You said "lately", so what InDesign version and OS are you using?
