AUXSAYS verdict WAIT

Current reports mention performance slowdowns. Production editors with active delivery deadlines should wait or test on copied projects.

Recommendations

  • Wait if you have active render/export deadlines.
  • Review the sample reports before updating a production workstation.

Current reports mention performance slowdowns in timeline / GPU performance.

Too few reports for a firm verdict yet — treat this as early evidence.
