Obnoxious amount of progress bars and interruptions in 2021.1.11

See my thread here:

How do you use 2021? Isn't it better using 2019?

Just trying a prototype test in 2021 after using 2019. Every time I make a script change and swap back to Unity, I get a progress bar loading assemblies or something. Everything’s so slow in this latest Unity. If productivity’s going to take a nose-dive, isn’t it better to stick with old, fast Unitys so long as you don’t need specific features? Or am I just missing a setting somewhere? Edit: This is doing my head in! I can’t work like this.

I think I solved this following m0guz’s settings advice, but I’m still focussed on a 2019 project and only dipping into 2021 sporadically. However I have other issues with 2021 including assets that don’t work properly, and advice seems largely to stick to 2020 LTS as 2021 is a bit dodge.
