InDesign VERY SLOW almost UNUSABLE
InDesign is slow to almost unworkable. Mac OS Mojave, vs 10.14.6, InDesign 14.0.3. Copy an image, import an image, save the file, etc. Turned off preflight,
Everything is extremely slow. Disable Suitcase and that did nothing to improve InDesign's performance. Have no other 3rd party plugins. I reinstalled 14.0.3 didn't help. Uninstalled 14.0.3 and installed 14.0.2 didn't help. So slow! Barely workable and can't finish my work on time.
I'm using an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) ,3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Radeon Pro 575X 4 GB.

I agree -- this is ridiculous. Used to be able to fly through Indesign. Now I feel like I need to write off half the time I;m spending to design with it.
Honestly it feels as though every time I make even the slightest adjustment to a text item that the application is reaching out to the Mother Ship to verify that I have the licensing permissions to use it. Good grief, you took a wonderful app and turned it into a train wreck.
What's going on and how can we get back to previous speedy performance?
Thank you

The temporary solution is to change the name of the image folder so to disable the dynamic links to picture as another user suggested but this is not how to work efficiently. Is Adobe going to fix this? A response would be nice.

I also tried working from my hard drive and disconnecting from the server. Same issues with slow performance. Also noticed when in preferences and switch the default Display Performance from Typical to Fast and hit OK InDesign is still in Typical Display. Same thing when going from Fast to Typical. Only way to get InDesign to the display preference of choice is to quit InDesign and then reopen it. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this too.
