Watched the activity monitor while launching, changing screens and browsing media. Nothing saturates CPU, GPU or disk. Not even 50%, and nothing is a heavier process than the application launch itself.
I don't know if it's the same thing on Macs, but on Windows at least you don't want to look for the overal CPU figure, but how much a maxxed-out CPU core would take up. For example with a quad-core processor (and no virtual cores), a maxxed-out core reads as 25%. This matters because while some parts of most applications can use multiple cores, many jobs in an app can only run on a single thread/core. The UI for example might be on its own thread.
So if you're seeing an app's CPU usage of exactly 1 or 2 cores maxxed-out (eg. 25% or 50%) continuously, there's a good chance the app is going flat out in 2 or two threads, and that's your bottleneck.
I'm on Windows 10, ever since using Resolve (from v14 or 15 IIRC) I've had appalling UI performance. Even just selecting or moving clips is laggy as hell, and I'm also seeing the super-slow mode switches. I'm on a Wacom tablet which may be part of the reason (will need to investigate), sorry to say I just got used to it. Persisted over several Nivida drivers. It's completely not normal though, no other app does this on my setup:
Dell XPS 15 (9560 model), i7-7700HQ (4 real/8 virtual threads), 32GB RAM, built-in Intel HD 630 graphics and Nvidia GTX 1050, 3 monitors.
