EQ Match - Very Slow Performance in SpectraLayers 12

When performing EQ Match in SpectraLayers 12.0.40 (on a 5 minute piece of audio), the process takes 20 mintes.

When doing the exact same thing in SpectraLayers 11, it takes about 5 seconds to process the audio.

It appears that the longer the audio selection, it exponentially increases the length of time EQ Match will take. For instance, a 1 minute selection of audio may say it’ll take 2 minutes to process. A 2 minute selection of audio would say it’ll take 4 minutes, and so on.

My system specs:

SpectraLayers Pro 12.0.40 | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 | Core Ultra 9 285K | 64GB DDR5 RAM | 5070Ti 16GB

Additional info:

I am noticing one of my E cores has very high utilisation while running the EQ Match process in SL12. See screenshot below. P cores are labelled; the rest are E cores.

EDIT: Upon completion of a 20 minute EQ Match process in SL 12.0.40, the audio will not play, no matter which position I move the playback cursor to. Seems like it’s bugged the program.
