SweetHome3D freezes all the time
Apple M1 Pro + Sweet Home 7.5
I have to force it to quit because it starts to slow down after a time and freezes / hangs
Is there any known solution for that?
I hoped an update would help but it does not.

Plugins: https://ibb.co/21N5ZDJc

I did not have this issue at the beginning as far as I remember. My project is rather large.

Try to get the console output, check from time to time to see if there are errors and post it here. To get the console output run the program from a terminal (this should be enough on Mac, but if you don't get any message try to redirect the output to a file as described here: https://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,9906#46437 )

Re: SweetHome3D freezes all the time
You said your project is quite large and then it gets stuck. Then I have experience~
Generally speaking, projects that are too large and complex and have too many objects will experience this problem. One of the most likely reasons is that you have turned on :Top view in plan objects and :Floor color or texture in plan room rendering.

Change Furniture icons in plan to Catalog icons.
Change Room rendering in plan: to Monochrome

Try to increase max memory as explained in the FAQ.
