Figma's performance over the past month has been incredibly frustrating to deal with. I'm constantly stuck waiting while the system tries to update the page — and it happens randomly, even after making the smallest changes to a file. I understand having to wait after pulling in updates from my design system, but being interrupted at random with no clear reason is really disruptive.

This happens at least 20 times a day, and each time I’m stuck waiting for 30 seconds to a full minute. It’s a major disruption to my workflow. On top of that, even when the page isn't reloading, the overall performance just feels sluggish. For example, when I update text in a component, there’s often a 2–5 second delay before the change is applied. These little delays really add up and kill my flow.

Some additional context:

• I’m using the desktop app exclusively

• My internet connection is strong and stable

• This happens every single day, across nearly all my projects

• I’ve tried restarting Figma, checking for updates, and doing the usual troubleshooting

• I actually notice better performance when working at night, which is odd

Is there anything I can do to fix this or improve the performance?
