I upgrade jabref from 4.2 to 5.0 today. Compared to version 4.2 the version 5.0 responds very slow in the order of 10sec to update a changed gui input. How can I improve the performance? (OS: Windoes 10 Home)

Same for me here, slow gui (OS: Win 8.1)

Sorry for the inconvenicences. This is partly related to the new UI technolgy. We are planning on performance related optimatzions in the next release.

After some attempts with different Jabref versions (4.3.1; 5.0 and 5.1) I found a solution at least for me.

Hi, we are aware of some perfomance issues with large databases. Performance issues with version 5.0 (example videos) opened 06:29PM - 23 Jun 19 UTC (UTC) [AEgit] AEgit …

Thank you. Appreciate all the work.

Good news, we recently fixed some performance issues, once JabRef is started, the user experience should feel much smoother. Please try the newest development version: https://builds.jabref.org/master/ Please make a backup of your library before trying out he new version,

I experienced the same/similar issue with 5.0 on MacOS. I don’t see any improvements in regards to this in the dev version. I tested with a small (30 entries) library. Every other time I click an entry instead of the info being displayed immediately nothing happens for up to ~10 seconds. Then again…

@Siedlerchr I followed the link you posted and tried the portable macOS version and the PKG and it does not make a difference.
