Hi Figma Team,

After the recent update introducing the "Draw" section, I was excited to explore the new brushes. I used the "Hardboiled" brush to create a scribbled, comical-style character for a client project. While the brush gave me the visual effect I was aiming for, I quickly ran into major performance issues.

The design file became increasingly laggy, eventually consuming over 60% of system memory. I couldn’t move the character across screens, save my work reliably, or even build more than a few poses without the entire file slowing down dramatically. For a brush tool focused on loose sketching, I was surprised to see it demand such heavy resources for what is essentially vector scribbling.

Would love to see optimizations for brush-based drawings in future updates — especially to support comic or sketch-based workflows.

Thanks for your time and great work otherwise.
