Slow performance on Big Sur

[Marty Knapp]

I have a customer with a brand new Mac Pro with tons of memory (and two 49 inch curved screens!) running Big Sur and he sent a video showing slow performance when populating a half dozen text fields from a custom property - took about 3 seconds (in a standalone).

The background image appears in chunks and text in the fields comes in as sequential pieces. The order of the display varies, sometimes the text appears first, sometimes the background image. The first few cards are fairly normal, but as she pages through the stack it gets slower.

She stopped when usage got to about 50% when she said it was unusable. This was in the IDE. She says the standalone is even slower.
