Freeze function very slow

Dear forumers,

M2 Ultra, least Ventura here, computer dedicated to Cubase.
If I’m working on a small session all good, but with complicated sessions freeze takes forever, and it even gets stuck for a while (even for tracks with one of two plugins on it).

Working on a mix with more than 200 tracks and 200/300 groups, FX and VCAs and freeze takes so much time that is unusable.
The bounce, on the other end, on the same session, for a 4 minute long cue, is ultra fast: 30 seconds (many many plugins, over sampling etc).

So other users experience that as well?
