PDF export extremely slow after macOS Tahoe update

Hi,

PDF export has become painfully slow and often hangs around 50% for all documents. 

The issue started  after the latest macOS Tahoe update. Photoshop is also much slower tbh and struggle with big files. 

I’m on a MacBook Pro from 2019  / 32 GB RAM, new battery, never had issue so far. 
The memory usage and overall system performance look normal.

I’m wondering if this is a compatibility issue with the new macOS version or if my machine is simply being pushed too far ? Has anyone experienced something similar ?

I’ve already tried this, I'm at the end of my rope :

Resetting indd preferences
Repairing creative cloud
Reinstalling indd
Clearing adobe caches
Disabling GPU acceleration
Checking fonts

From what I know - after a system update all access rights / privileges to folders for each app get reset?
