Obsidian has gotten monstrously slow in the last 24-36 hours

Bug graveyard
1

Obs is running super slow.

Steps to reproduce

Big lag on typing. Anywhere.

Expected result

I turned on safe mode to see if any improvement

Actual result

It’s slightly better but still sucky, way slower than normal.

Download and reinstall obsidian.

Also sometimes you need to restart obsidian after disabling plugins and themes.

If it happens again, try to record a performance profile with themes and plugins disabled.

Ctrl-shift-i->performance->record the slowdown->stop recording → export to file → zip it and upload it somewhere and send us a link.

Quit and restarted; seems to be normal.
Turned off safe mode; seems to be normal.
I guess we’re done here for today! Thanks!

But did you also reinstall fresh from the website? You have an old installer version, so please make sure you did! (just double checking, sorry.)
