Why is Stocks so sluggish in Monterey?

I am noticing a significant drag in Stocks performance since upgrading to Monterey. Anyone else have this problem? Updating and just about all functionality (which isn't much to begin with) is very slow.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support



Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
