Version 20.10.31 Has Been Slower on My System?

What is your operating system?
OS: Windows 10 Home (Version 1909)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X (6-cores)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1660 TI (6GB)
Storage: 1TB SSD and 2TB HD

What is your Shotcut version? Is it 32-bit?
20.10.31, 64-bit

Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?
Hello, this is just a general issue rather than a specific bug, but I’ve had much longer “loading times” (i.e. opening source files, editing project clips, etc) ever since I updated to the latest version (20.10.31, 64-bit) when compared to the past. Normally, the program was always a little laggy when I add new video files to the project and then it gets better once I leave it alone for a few minutes, but now it’s always slow no matter how long I wait.

I don’t know if anyone else has a similar experience, or maybe Shotcut is simply more demanding now, but rolling back to the older version (20.09.27) is much more tolerable. I’m just a layman, so I have no idea how any of the technical aspects work, but I hope future versions will be more optimized for my computer.

Thank you for your hard work!
