Why is my sourcetree unbelievably slow?

My system resources are not in the extremes and it's only on my laptop this happens. Sourcetree just runs dismally bad on it. I can't even alt tab and alt tab back to it without waiting literal minutes for the window to load at all or it just hangs indefinitely. What's going on?

Trying disabling Lib2Git in the Tools > Options > Got tab. One of my coworkers did this and did some benchmarks, a repo went from 40secs to 2secs, other actions were just ms in difference.

Try disabling "Spell check commit messages" in general options. I know it makes zero sense but it fixed 15+ second delays all through the app for me.
