Figma is too slow after new update

I’m encountering some issues with Figma; regardless of whether the file has many pages or few, the operations are very laggy. I’ve tried changing my network and using a VPN, but neither has made a significant difference. What should I try now?

I also do not have this option.

Just upvoting this. Since the UI update Figma has been brutally slow. Tried reinstalling and clearing the cache. No luck. Even in a brand new file it’s slow.

The same. Performance is slow, and the fan in my MacBook works like I’m rendering a 4K scene in Cinema 4D

Sorry for the confusion, @Deborah!

Bruno’s referring to a different Help menu than the one shown in your screenshot. You can access the Figma Help Menu via the ? icon in the lower, right-hand corner:

I’m experiencing the same issues.

I’ve tested this a couple of times and while switching between the new and old UI, I see an enormous difference in performance. I’m using the Figma app for Mac. It doesn’t matter what kind of files I’m working on - with the new UI I have a 1 - 2 second delay in response time for almost every single action triggered - even for the hand tool.
