R Studio running too slow while trying to create a blogdown website

[krispa567]

It's running too slow when I'm trying to create a blogdown website. It wouldn't even let me save the updated files but the cursor moves fine. I need some help.

Hi @krispa567!

I'm afraid it's going to be hard for people here to help without some more information.

• Can you describe the steps you are taking when you encounter this problem?
• Does following that same set of steps always trigger the problem?

Some system information would also be helpful:

System Information:

• RStudio Edition: (Desktop or Server)
• RStudio Version:
• The output of running sessionInfo()
• RStudio diagnostics report: rstd.io/support-diagnostics-report

Please copy and paste the console output here, then select it and click the little </> button at the top of the posting box to make sure it doesn't get garbled by the forum software. For a diagnostics report, you may wind up with output that is too long to paste in here. Please share it somewhere else (Google Drive, GitHub gist, Dropbox, etc) and link to it here.
