What about your computer changed at the time of "all of a sudden"? Windows update, different hardware, installed a new program? Is there any indication of what's the source of the bottleneck in Task Manager's performance tab? Is the slowdown the same if you create a new book?

Does "changing a field" include committing the transaction or is the slowdown apparent when typing into the field or tabbing to the next one?

As for the PS, it's because lists.gnucash.org is just an alias for code.gnucash.org (so is wiki.gnucash.org). Try `site:lists.gnucash.org/pipermail` to restrict it to the mailing list archives.
