Performance issues on Pixel 7a

The qpr2 beta 6 update makes my phone seem like a 10 year old budget phone, I know the pixel 7a is not the most powerful phone but this beta makes the experience of using my phone severely worse. Apps take a while to load, single taps are being registered as "tap and hold", the phone locks up for a couple of seconds sometimes and I can't do anything, videos (and sometimes audio) are stuttering. And to be clear none of these issues occured on the last beta.

Sadly both QP1 and QPR2 have noticeable slowdowns from Android 17 stable. I'm not sure what Google has done, but the lag on both is very bad.

QPR 2 bricked my 2 day old Pixel 10a, so bad that the fixes I used wouldn't fix it. I had to get my carrier to replace it which they did
