Description

When I put my mouse cursor on a node, it takes about 2 to 3 seconds before the tooltip appears. It freezes for about 10 seconds for every letter I type into a skill gem name. Everything is extremely slow.

"Show Node Power" is unchecked, I restarted my computer, I reinstalled the application, I installed previous versions which I know did not lag before (2.28.0), I updated my graphics drivers. The application was not slow when I used it a month ago.

I have 32 GB of RAM, an Nvidia 1660 Ti GPU, an Intel Core i7-4770K CPU.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the tooltip delay and typing freeze in Path of Building Community 2.30.1, then compare the behavior with version 2.28.0. The report provides hardware details and notes that Show Node Power is unchecked; done means identifying and resolving the regression so tooltips and skill gem searches respond normally.
