I did try it again and ran into the sluggishness issue which can't be worked around. Even after turning off all plugins there is sometimes 500ms-2s of additional latency when doing basic things like opening menus or opening files. Not sure what else to turn off to reach a usable speed. I wish it shipped with just enough features turned on to edit code and maintain a high level of performance, if it's indeed a settings issue.
