Notes app on iOS 14 very slow

I have a note on my phone that is very full, it had a lot of information. Let’s say you can scroll for a good 10 seconds from one end to the other. On iOS 13 there were 0 issues. On iOS 14 when I type, it is noticeably slower and laggier. When I type the keyboard letters pop up a second later and the letters on the notes show up a second later too. How do I fix this issue without downgrading?

Once I updated to iOS 14, all of my Notes with a lot of bulleted lists in them were insanely laggy. At first, I thought it was because of how much text was in there, but other big notes without a lot of lists were fine, and new notes with about 20 started to show issues. My keyboard will intermittently slow down so much that it types by itself for a good 10-15 seconds. It's insane.
