My old Mac Pro is well configured, thank you :)
It is still quite powerful and very stable, besides I regret that macOs 12 is gradually abandoned by NI in many of its new updates (except for traktor pro 4, thank you, but that is not the subject here). I do not intend to replace it before it burns and dies, but I am used to work on "old" OSes and to freeze a perfectly stable configuration for my needs. I say this because this KK 3.3 has probably broken this stability (at least for me).

I do not see the connection between your Windows / Ableton 11 and my macOS / Ableton 12. Different systems, different versions..

I insist on the fact that before KK 3.3.3, I never encountered any stability problem or slowdowns on Ableton 10 / 11 / 12 for years with KK 2 and KK 3 before 3.3 updates.

I think it's mostly an optimization issue on the NI side.
Since I downgraded to 3.2.1, I no longer have the bad slow KK browsing experience (which was the same with S49mk2 or with the mouse or keyboard navigation only) BUT I also realized that Ableton 12 (and version 11 that I just tested too) is way more faster in general, when opening/working with multiple KK instances, when switching tracks, or whatever, I no longer have slowdowns or big CPU spikes for simple tasks in my projects like I had with 3.3.

My Mac heats up much less, the fan runs slower, in short everything is smoother for me with 3.2.1, so I stick with this version.

Is anyone of NI able to respond to the slowness issues of komplete kontrol? Is it a known issue? Will it be solved in the next update? Please repond!

I just tested with Kontakt 7 on my library, this tool works really fine is really fast, just as I expect Komplete Kontrol to react. This comparison proves the responce problem is definitely in de Komplet Kontrol software itself.
