So you can't magically snap your fingers to fix an issue, but you instantly know for sure if someone's issue is related or not with no prior info? Try to be a little more helpful and unassuming to the people on the forum and accept that maybe there is an issue with the software and not on their end, especially if their issue showed up after upgrading to a newer build of OBS and everything was fine before that. Plus I also having the same issue with poor performance/slowdowns after updating OBS to the latest build so if the issue isn't related to the latest OBS update then why is everyone reporting the same issue after doing the same thing, updating OBS, yet everything was fine before hand?

Because posting in someone else's thread where they are asking for help with their specific issues with comments like "I'm having the same problem!" with no confirmation, logs, or understanding of what's going on is incredibly rude to the original poster who is asking for help. Make a new post. Include a log, as the forums say to all over the place. It gets REALLY tiring when people post "me too me too!" and then everyone assumes there's some larger issue with OBS when it's not, at all.
All of the recent performance related issues have not been the update itself, but rather a combination of terrible antivirus, Windows 10 updates, or other external factors to OBS itself. If there actually is a performance issue on the newer version (which is EXTREMELY unlikely given that none of the code that was updated has anything to do with the actual encoding side of things), we have yet to see any real evidence of that fact. We take these reports very seriously, but please understand that we get hundreds of reports of people doing really, really stupid things with the program through ignorance every single day. Core i3 CPU? 1080p60fps at veryslow x264 preset? Yeah, not gonna work so well, and when they say it's always worked in the past, we know there's a missing piece of their story.
I understand that their perception is "Must be the program, I can't be the reason this isn't working!" but that's almost always the case, and when it's not, it's external interference.

Mario is right, you still made the assumption that you KNEW what their issue was and wasn't related. If their issue was exactly the same, why would they make a new thread? That's a waste of time and space on the forum. I've had the same issue, but whatever you want to chalk it up to, even if I ran things at a 720p base downscaled to around 480p, with a 7700k, with no anti-virus (which is what seems to be the thing to point at) I still get terrible performance in 19.0.2, other builds work just fine.
I know you guys worked hard on your most recent 19.x build, but try to understand that just because it works on YOUR specific computers doesn't mean it's working on everyone else's. If users are reporting issues after an update, then maybe actually take some of them seriously if there's MULTIPLE threads about the same or extremely similar issue, which most people seem to report is updating to 19.0.2. Please don't assume people don't know what they're doing on their end, quite a few OBS users aren't just basic cannon fodder, but I'm sure you know that.

It's not hijacking if the person has the same issue and is just hoping for the OP to have their issue resolved since it would mean THEIR issue would be fixed as well. But hijacking aside my points still stand.

Would this change potentially cause a performance impact when there are multiple capture sources present when compared to 18.0?
Now of course there is no need for more than one capture source and the fix for the problem in this thread is to remove all the capture sources. I'm not trying to say that having more than one game capture is ideal.
It could be plausible that there are users who were using more than one capture source with hardly any issues before 19.0, and that the change in 19.0 wrecked performance for those users, that is if these changes are actually causing the "problem".
