How responsive is your Nextcloud? (sh.itjust.works)

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn't snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I'm curious what the experience is like for other people. I'd also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any other relevent special configs, etc.). Mine is essentially just a default install of Nextcloud Snap.

Edit (2024-03-03T09:00Z): I should clarify that I am specifically talking about the web interface and not general file sync capabilites. Specifically, I notice the sluggishness the most when interacting with the calendar, and tasks.

You've told us nothing about your hardware.

I've been running nextcloud for some time with this setup:

KVM virtual machine with 4 cores / 8 GiB RAM
docker image: `nextcloud:28.0.2-apache` with db: `mariadb:11.1`

The UI has never been what one would call... "fast". Especially on first load of a page or directory. It's been adequate for me though. Once I click around a bit it caches enough things to feel fairly responsive. I also mount /var/lib/nextcloud off a network share so I'm sure that hits my performance some as well.

Nextcloud leans on the database a lot so be sure to have a local and quick storage for it (no - don't run it on your raspberry pi). There are also cleanup cron jobs and indexes that need to be updated when doing upgrades that help performance as well.
