I’m having the same issues here. After a few minutes (often already after 30 Seconds) my larger files start lagging. It then gets worse and worse up to the point, that i have to restart Figma since it is no longer usable. The issue appears in the desktop app as well as in chrome (although it takes a little longer to start lagging in chrome). The problem appears on my larger files (around 50-125 mb on export size). Smaller files are still fast.
What i already tried
- reinstalled figmas desktop app → same problems
- Cleared chromes browser cache → same problems
- work on separate pages in my larger files where i only place 1-5 artboards → same problems
- Cleaning up my files a few weeks ago solved the problem on one of the large files → but the problems are coming back again right now.
- Exporting and reimporting the large files a few weeks ago solved the problem for a short period of time → but the same problems are reoccurring again at the moment
Would be great if these problems could be fixed :). Cheers, Ferdinand
