Apple Motion is still SUPER SLOW to Launch on M2

I'm on a new, clean M2 Mac Mini Pro. I thought Motion would launch MUCH faster than on my ancient mid-2014 MBP, but I'm sitting and waiting forever while it putzes around looking at every plugin (non-technical generalization intended).


I use my plugins in FCPx. FCPx launches super quickly. I don't even need or use all these plugins in Motion, but unlike Logic, I can't simply bypass them in Motion (which shouldn't even be necessary).


I've read some input from Luis Sequeira1 on an older thread about this issue. The problem is common and, shockingly, still exists on silicon. I shouldn't have to delete Chrome from my system. Further, if FCPx doesn't struggle when launching with my plugins, Motion shouldn't.


This is like when I had to start loading Bruce Lee on my C64 tape drive and come back 1/2 an hour later to play.
