For context, this is a transferred over campaign from Fantasy Grounds Classic. As far as I know, that shouldn't cause issues but I wanted to mention it just in case.
Whenever I am typing up a story window, it begins to freeze more and more as it fills up. For the first few lines, there are no issues/it is negligible but even after a paragraph it is noticeable and hampering my experience. Once I have a rather large one, it begins freezing every 5 seconds for 1 second at a time. It's still registering what I type, it just takes 1 second to input it all in at once.
When I have a map open, it will freeze every 11 seconds or so for 1 second. It's more noticeable when I am dragging it around, but it can be a huge issue in combat when trying to do targeting and movement. In my example video I dragged it around so that it was easily visible. This freezes not just the map but the entire program.
When I open up an Action tab for a player, be it as a player or a DM, the action tab takes a rather long time to load. Once a PC has an Action Tab open, the frame rate of the character sheet specifically gets lower the more things they have in there. A Prepared Casters sheet looks a lot more choppy compared to one that isn't. This is only when the Action Tab is open. It takes awhile to open it every time you open it. This makes switching between Inventory and Actions a pain.
I didn't show this one in my example video, but the same happens when interacting with NPC stat blocks, they will freeze occasionally.
I didn't show this one either since I thought of it after the fact, but when I roll dice it begins to slow down. It will freeze the entire program as it tries to calculate the result, and it will take a rather long time attempting to do that. The more dice, the longer it takes. This can be a big problem for spells like Fireball or a Paladin using their Divine Smite at higher levels
You can find my example video here. I have it time stamped in the description so you can easily find the examples.

Latest update, but has been happening for months. I was hoping this was a problem already reported, but it may be specific for me.
Latest version of Windows 10 20H2, but it was happening in previous versions as well.
Campaign Folder size is 492MB as of typing this post. I can upload it to a GDrive if you need it.
These problems do not exist in Fantasy Grounds Classic, I can take this campaign and have it all work perfectly there.
My computer specs for reference:
RTX 3070 Graphics Card, although I can replicate it with a GTX 1070
Ryzen 3600 CPU, replicated the issue with a Intel i7-4770K with either of the above graphics cards.
A 1TB TLC NVMe drive that is pretty empty, so the cache for that is still rather large. It shouldn't have any read/write problems here.
If there are other hardware parts that may affect this, let me know and I can share what I have.
