Worse and worse performance

Alejandro Viana
I love Gamma. I came from Canva attracted by the amount of options and the ease of editing, but this is becoming unsustainable; performance is getting worse and worse, you can't work like that. Every time I want to move the cursor, the interface takes 6 or 8 seconds to respond.
My presentation has about 100 slides and I have used Firefox, Brave and Chrome and it happens in all three browsers. The processor is at 20% and the memory is at 70%, so it's not a computer problem.
Please fix it.
Thank you.

Hey Alejandro Viana, thanks for the detailed writeup and sorry you’re dealing with that. 6–8 seconds of lag just to move the cursor is brutal, especially on a ~100 slide deck. I’ll pass this to the team.
Quick question so we can narrow it down: does the slowdown happen all the time, or mainly after a specific action (like switching slides, editing text, adding media, or opening comments)?

Nik Payne (Gamma design) Hi Nik,
Thanks for your reply. It has been happening al the time, no matter what I was doing or what I had previously done. Sometimes I just wanted to place the cursor to edit some text, and sometimes I web l wanted to add some cards.
Thanks again

Nik Payne (Gamma design) I have performed some tests and the problem seems to be the number of slides. Although user images also have an influence, the main actor here is the JavaScript code that makes gamma work. Apparently it can't cope with a high number of slides.
I hope this information is useful to you and your team. Can't wait for this issue to be fixed and enjoy working gamma again!
Thanks!
