Would you mind telling me if you're also finding it slow when the vault contains a lot of files? I do have some community plugins installed (the usual stack, I'd say), so it might be that they're the cause, but I'm not sure. And, I'd say the machine is reasonably fast for this type of task (random hexa-core laptop). It will take a second to switch notes, and opening up the graph view is also super-slow. I'm wondering if Obsidian has become bloatware.
