    Since Ultimaker Cura 4.9.0, I have had some reports that my plugin makes Cura very slow. Disabling the plugin fixes this slowdown. Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this dramatic slowdown. I have been trying out some things with one active affected user here on github, but sofar I have not found the silver bullit.
