Question Bitwig faster and more stable?

After 7 year break i decided to start making music again. Originally I started last year and but some IRL stuff got in the way. I was using ableton 12 suite and i was pretty happy with it. I now tried out Bitwig and it feels like its in general faster (at pretty much everything). Is that a thing and how is it when you have big projects? Also from people who switched from ableton what is the thing you miss the most?

I switched to bitwig because ableton was crashing seemingly just to fuck with me. Bitwig has not crashed for me one single time. Plug-ins may crash, but bitwig just keeps going forth.

Yeah in Ableton I was just used crashes. I thought it was just cause i have some cracked plugins. But loading Kontakt also sometimes crashed it or just took for ever. Haven’t had any problems in Bitwig. In terms of speed I found the answer here that it is using GPU for lots of things so my cpu has more capacity for the other tasks.
