Articulate 360 VERY VERY SLOW

Is it just me or do people find the software - storyline slow?

I use powerpoint as well and its architecture is similar... and powerpoint is lightening fast compared to storyline. Using it on a 16MB Ram PC with 4 processors. So I know it is not my pc as I analyse 200MB+ excel files, with complex formulae at lightening speed

Any enhancement advice is welcomed

Examples of things that i get frustrated with

1. I try to expand an object, it take 2 seconds then annoyingly drags a different object, you undo it then takes some seconds then you try again and it stretches a different object.

I spend half my time battling with moving objects around rather than creating content

2. Today it decided to give me the ring of death, no autosave feature or recovery feature. Lost 2 hours work. Over 5 slides. 

I think the product is fantastic, superb, I cant fault it, The only downside is the user experience as a result of performance issues when dealing with small tasks (drag and drop e.t.c).

So any advice is welcome :) Thanks
