Apple Notes lag when taking handwritten notes on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil

I have the 2nd generation iPad Pro and noticed a lot of lag after updating to iPadOS 16.1. This is especially prominent as the size of the notes increase (i.e. more than 4 - 5 pages). At this point, the current note is completely unusable.

I have also noticed that if you close the notes once the lag appears, apple notes does not save the 'laggy portion' as well.

I restarted the iPad and also ensured no apps were running in the background. Lag remains.

yeah, I am having this problem as well, right after update to iOS 16.2. I depend on this for law school. Apple needs to fix this garbage right now; unacceptable. I will stop investing in apple products if this isn't fixed soon
