Software takes forever to slice

As the title says. When you slice one model its fast enough. But as soon as you add more than one it takes an absolute eternity. It gets to 50% fast enough but after that every 1% takes 10-30 seconds. I dont even know how long it took to slice because I had to walk away from the computer. And then when thats done it takes another eternity to send the file to the printer. Why cant i just put the file on a usb stick and use that? If i have to walk to the printer to press the button to start anyway, why not use a more efficient transfer method. Or make it faster. But seriously, this software is unusable. I dont have time as a business to wait hours to be able to start a print. Is this a common issue or just me? Because if this is a norm, no matter how good the printer is, this problem makes it unusable.

The other issue is, every time you start the software and want to slice, the software selects one of the uniz resin profiles by default instead of leaving it on the one you last used. So if you have a custom profile that wont be selected automatically even if you use it every time. So when this happens and you reflexively click slice without double checking what the profile is, you cant cancel it. I just had to sit there for a while waiting for the slicing to finish so I could change the profile and reslice. But when I realized it was going to take upward of 20 minutes to slice, I just closed to the software and had to redo my whole buildplate. This is very annoying and I dont understand how there isnt a simple cancel button anywhere to be seen. I feel like this software is lacking a lot of the most basic functions, such as when you rotate it locks every 90 degrees. instead if you want to turn something 90 degrees you have to type it in manually every time.
