I downloaded and installed 2.10 on my internal SSD.
What I mean is that when I click to open a box such as color balance it takes a
noticeably longer time to load compared to 2.8.
I'm only using my SSD during the editing process.
I tried disabling channel previews and it didn't help the speed unfortunately 
Thanks for your time though!
