I use log messages to indicate where in the process the script is. Today, I've noticed that the more log messages get printed to one cell, the slower Marimo becomes. I don't think this affects when running from command line, but when in edit mode, if I allow all messages to be printed, then the notebook becomes completely unresponsive. Prior to Christmas I don't believe I had this issue and would be able to print all the messages without any issues, but I'm not completely sure about that.
I don’t think anything has changed in that regard but I can look at improving the performance. Any chance you could link very minimal code at which you see the performance issues
