OBS slow to open and navigate within

Over the span of the last few weeks my OBS has been taking a solid 60 seconds to load & extremely slow moving between any changes.
If I go to adjust any source (add a filter, transform, etc..) I have to wait 10 seconds or so to completely any subsequent action within. I get the blue "not responding" circle in the interim
Only change I made recently was installing a VST Plugin-Youlean Loudness Meter.
Moved fluently prior since I've had it running on this PC for the last year.
Here is the latest log:

Thanks in advance!

Youlean is a good plugin, anyway. Yes, it costs cpu power. If its seen right then you had put alot of instances of that plugin into many sources or scenes, yepp? Remember: Every instance of vst plugin mentioned in obs opens a single instance of the plugin.

Have you put Youlean on ten sources, it will open (and consume resources) ten times...

Thats the reason why you should have only one LUFS monitoring instance at master output level. Unfortunately OBS didn't provide up to date a single "master strip" in the audio mixer where such plugin could be inserted once.

That is a long wished suggestion or feature-request for obs meanwhile.

In that case one could use nested scenes.

Create a new scene and call it i.e. 'Sound'. Put the audio source with it's filters in the Sound scene. In every of the 12(?) scenes where you need sound, remove the audio source and insert the Sound scene as a source.
