My daily use of my base involves a lot of calculations. Lately, AT is slow to the point of being unusable while doing these calculations. The base just hangs at "saving" until I manually refresh. I've split the base into four so that the base I'm now working in has a quarter of the records I used to work with, but this has not improved performance. Is there anything else I can try?

Airtable is optimized for Chromium-based browsers, so if you are using anything else, you may want to try changing browsers(Chorme, Edge).
Unfortunately, Firefox is slow.

This article may give you an insight.
Troubleshooting Airtable performance

Since Airtable is a modern UI, the CPU and memory performance of the computer may be insufficient.

Thank you. I read that link before posting here, but it is way too generic. I know the problem is not my computer.

Now that is useful information. I do not use Google products and I am on Safari browser. So if Airtable is no longer compatible with Safari, then my time with Airtable has come to an end. It’s been a good run and I am really sad because I put a lot into my base and I’m going to have to redo all my systems for how I run my business, but they have completely abandoned their pioneer users so there is no hope of things getting better. Thanks!
