Re: Slow Performance on 6 Core Mac Pro
Mac OS handles it and appears to scale the menus to usable levels. I'm not aware of an option to adjust this (other than through Accessibility panel) and it didn't change between 2.3.0 and 2.3.2.

Re: Slow Performance on 6 Core Mac Pro
Also still struggling with it here. I moved to Catalina and having the same issues with 2.3.3. OS level had no impact (positive or negative) on the performance.

Re: Slow Performance on 6 Core Mac Pro
Hey!
I am having exactly the same problem with my Audacity. I am using Mac OS Catalina. Resizing window keeps lagging. Same as selecting parts of the wave.
Anyone found any solution for this?

Re: Slow Performance on 6 Core Mac Pro
Unfortunately still the case here as well.

Returning to Audacity after a bit of break from DJing and notice exactly the same terrible lagging when using anything other than a small window.

Re: Slow Performance on 6 Core Mac Pro
Does that also have a high dpi display?

Re: Slow Performance on 6 Core Mac Pro
The current version of Audacity is 2.4.2. Updating is highly recommended as this is a bug fix release. https://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/

Re: Slow Performance on 6 Core Mac Pro
Steve, do you know if 2.4.2 addresses this issue?
