Yes, I know, there are already infinity billion posts about this already but look at this screenshot and tell me what seems wrong to you:

Granted I'm on a 2017 iMac Retina but it doesn't have these issues elsewhere. I've got 64 GBs of RAM and two Samsung 980 Pro 2TB NVMEs housed in Thunderbolt 3 enclosures — with a freshly installed OS and apps on one drive and caching on the other. I've double- and triple-checked my settings, using a 3:1 proxy, and I sat there for five minutes watching that green bar fill all the way up. And yet 3 fps is the best I can get. Is using planar tracker steady and then again to invert steady tracker asking too much? The fusion page in Resolve doesn't struggle nearly as much with this same node tree doubled and connect with Channel Booleans, but Resolve crashes on me frequently (another issue entirely).
To be clear, when I play back the Loader node, the first Planar Tracker node, or the Matte Control node I get full speed playback even without it having cached to memory, but if I play back the second Planar Transform or the Saver node, 3.1 fps is what I get.
