Is anyone else experiencing lag with macros on synapse 4?

So i was having issues with synapse 3 and mouse recording because i have multiple monitors and absolute tracking doesn't work, even when all three are the exact same, so i updated to 4 to setup mouse recording macros.

And they seem to work fine, at first, but the longer synapse 4 has been on the slower they get, to the point where it takes a good 10 full seconds for the mouse cursor to move from one side of the screen to the other. And this affects all the mouse macros i set up. 

Restarting the pc works for the first hour or so, but slowly it crawls back to a snail's pace, everything else on the computer runs full speed, just not synapse 4, anyone have any ideas or solutions for this?

It’s nice to see I’m not alone in this issue, I’ve been having the same problems since I started using the newer versions of Synapse half a year ago. I setup a simple macro to start and stop a stopwatch timer after 30 seconds, and sure enough every loop ended up being 2 seconds slower than the last.

My only real solution right now is to just revert back to Synapse 3, which has its own issues like being frustratingly slow or not recording mouse positions correctly when using multiple monitors but at least the macros run at a consistent speed.

I have found that running repair on razer synpase fixes it, but only to the same extent as restarting the pc, with it becoming awful after really just 30 minutes to an hour of use.

Edit: With that being said, im not sure how to revert to synapse 3 so Im still looking for a permanent solution.

Closing Synaps (in the bottom right tray) works faster than repairing it. Only takes a second to re-open it.

It does fix it, but only temporarily, pehaps my macro was more complex than the average one, but I found that if I ran it for even just 15 min it would start taking 2 or 3 times as long as it first did and just kept getting worse. The only permanent solution I found for others with this issue is reverting to Synapse 3, and then I later just abandoned razer macros all together using other macro software.
