Premiere 25.5 lot unstable

I own a M1 Max 4TO 64gb Ram...a beast! 
After the latest update of PR 25.5 the software is totally not working properly. I've been using it since 2007! And I always defended the software as being very stable, and i've worked with many heavy plugins in the past and present. Simple bug is the playback in Full resolution, timeline 4k with Sony s-log 4.2.0 rushes and the timeline is loosing a big amount of frames very impressive, even if i remove the high resolution preview and lower it to 1/2 it till have hard time sometimes. I even did not apply any color correction, nothing at all! 
Many other issues, where it freezes for no reason, and without having a heavy work to really heating my laptop, the older version was perfect...waiting the new update hopefuly to have it fixed! My colleague do not have this issue so i guess it's unlikely to me.

Hi @patrickhagot

Thank you for reporting a problem and sorry you've been experiencing issues. We need a few more details to help. What macOS version are you on?

Is this happening with all your projects and all kinds of media, or are you only experiencing these problems with this project specifically? Did these files play back properly in the previous version of Premiere Pro you were using? (If so, which version?) 

Can you check and right-click on your program monitor and deselect High Quality Playback if selected?

Could you also provide more details about the media you are using (codec, frame rate, camera source, etc), and where they are stored/located? Are you working with proxies attached (what kind)?

Sorry for the frustration, 
Dani
