I doubt it's just that. First, it happens in same way on my Threadrippers, Xeons, Xeons-W and Intel-HX laptops.
Second, I have clear note-tracks as part of my start-up scripts, I haven't had them in years.
The slow-down for me started happening in past 6 months +/- I would say, or even later, since Winter?
Either Corona build, Licence server, or Windows 11 update crap again.
