mac 1.3 beta performance issues

[ThomasFOG]

Hello!

It seems that the current 1.3 beta has memory/performances leaks. The program runs fine, but after some time of usage (varying, but more than an hour of work) it becomes increasingly slow to operate down to unusable.

This problem is not present on 1.2.4 (and as far as we can tell, it was present in all 1.3 betas and never in the 1.2 branch).

Thanks for aseprite, it's likely the tool that has the most enhanced our workflow.

Cheers!

Aseprite and System version

• Aseprite version: 1.3 beta 21 x86 (dmg from Humble)
• System: macOS, 12.1, x64

Thanks for your report! We'll look into it.

Taking some notes on a particular action: opening and closing the Preferences dialog several times consumes more and more VM: IOSurface memory.

OS: MacOS Ventura
Aseprite 1.3beta21-x64

As a workaround until this is resolved: uncheck Edit > Preferences > Experimental > UI with multiple windows

We tested the suggested workaround over a workday and it seems like that was it!
