Max increasingly slow on Apple M1 MacBook Pro

Hello!

since a month I work on a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max, which worked flawlessly up until a few days ago, when working with Max got increasingly slow.
The fps in resource hungry jitter patches are still fine, but when creating objects, typing in numbers and all that stuff there seems to be a serious "display lag". I.e. when drawing a slider or turning a dial by mouse, the function itself remains prompt and fine, but sometimes it takes seconds for the slider to visually follow my mouse-movement.
Also opening Max takes a lot longer than it used to, very often when opening the reference sidebar I get the "spinning rainbow wheel" for at least a second etc.

Everything else apart of Max, editing software, photoshop etc works fine, so I wonder where this behavior comes from. I didn't change anything about the MacBook apart of a minor Update in Monterey (now 12.2.1), but these problems already startet before that.

I'm on Max 8.2.2.

Did anyone have the same problem or know anything about it?

Thank You!
