After upgrading to Sequoia 15.1 the Messages app and others (WhatsApp, Perplexity, for example) is very slow and beachballing

Hi,


I'm not sure what happened but after this upgrade a number of apps, but Messages specially (because I use the desktop app very frequently...) is very slow and shows the beach ball every time I select a message or try to type. There's a delay of 5 to 10 seconds before I can type or changes selection and the beach ball goes away. I saw another, similar question where Messages didn't work at all for them and the advise given there was to quit/restart the app and restart in Safe Mode and see if the issue goes away.


Well, I tried both and didn't work. In Safe Mode, the app indeed works normally. However, the problem persist when restarted again normally. The problem also shows with other apps where you must select a thread or there's a text input field, like WhatsApp or Perplexity.


Any clues as to what could be causing this and how to fix it?


I have a Mac Studio 2022 with 64 GB of memory.


Thank you!!
