Interesting! On the same machine as you have, I find Figma to be OK in terms of performance (not as snappy as Sketch). The loading time kills me though. I also had to download the electron app because switching to a Figma tab noticeably locked up Chrome for a second or two.

You need to change the way you think about files with Figma.

In Sketch, ppl use to have everything in one huge file. Lots of variants, a/b tests, different flows. But with Figma, you need to make a library of shared components, and split everything into smaller files so you don't have to redownload the whole design every time you want to put a comment on something. This does require you to sub though.
