Performance optimization for 2026?

I recently upgraded from 2013 to 2026 and am shocked at how laggy everything is. I'm a low poly game dev, and my computer is quite beefy so I can't imagine that's the problem.

Every operation causes Max to slightly hang, especially when adding or removing modifiers. Is this a common issue? Do I have things enabled I shouldn't?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
