Beefed up Mac but Lightroom still lags?

I just bought a brand new Mac Studio so I expected Lightroom Classic to be screaming fast, but I still find some things lagging. My biggest gripe is when I switch photos or start a new mask, sometimes the adjustment sliders won't highlight when I mouse over them. My editing technique is to mouse over the slider and use the arrow keys to move it up or down, but that obviously doesn't work when the sliders won't highlight. Any suggestions? I've tried disabling/enabling the GPU in the Performance tab of Preferences and deleted a handful of plugins I wasn't using.

Computer

Mac Studio with M4 Max chip

16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine

64GB unified memory

1TB SSD storage

Edited to clarify I'm using Lightroom Classic.

UPDATE: Things seem to be working better and while I make a few changes I think the one that made the difference was changing my import build previews from Standard to 1:1. I zoom in a lot so I think the delay in interface controls was due to Lightroom trying to build 1:1 previews on the fly.

Canon fire?

Anyone know what the loud booms are tonight? I’m in Maymont and it sounds like it’s maybe coming from south of the river.
