Automator runs progessively slow on a loop after Big Sur update.

Any reason why Automator loops run progressively slowly after update to 11.2.3. Running a MacBook Pro 15" 2017.


Automator is now pretty useless, so any help appreciated.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

Problem resolved. My original 'watch me do' process included a long period of inaction (63 seconds). I timed this delay, and added a PAUSE task in the script of 63s. This allowed the loops to continue at normal speed with no degradation.
