Very excited to download the latest version (23.4). Right away I noticed a severe lag and lack of responsiveness to my workflow. Every click, every operation taking seconds to respond. And then, after just working for 15mins or so, I'd get the Mac's "Spinning beach ball of death" and the software would stay in that state forever I even went to bed and returned to see if t did anything 8 hours later - nope. Tried restarting, purging caches, dumping preview-renders, creating a new project and only dragging in sequences that were required. Well, I had to master a project and wasted a day trying to make 23.4 work. So I went back to 23.3. And right away everythign was back to normal. After I mastered my jobs, tried installing the new software, and started working in a much smaller project. I took the time to transcribe 8x 1 hour long interviews and I was excited to find and select the pieces I wanted. But it was, again, excruciating slow. And again, it just seized up.
Anyone experiencing these issues? Editor sad. ><((º>

Yea I am getting the same on Ventura 13.3.1 (a), I just get beachballs, and it is basically non-functional. I have had to move back to 23.2 to get it working again (and go before the Premiere Export Issue), though the beta seems to work, but it cvery unstable on my iMac pro.
I also deleted all Premiere Prefs, but 13.4 is basically unresponsive.

I had a similar experience after I upgraded on my 2020 27" 5k iMac. (Monterey 12.6.6, 3.8GHz 8-core Intel i7, 128gb ram, AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT). Worked great for most of the day, but after about 5 hours of working steady, it started the beach ball lagging. Never crashed, but after several reboots, uninstalling - reinstalling, cache clearing, etc... it never resolved. So I downgraded back to 23.3 and all is well, for now... (knocks on wood with fingers crossed)
