The new Dynamic lighting slows my and my players computers to a crawl.

The Legacy dynamic lighting works perfectly fine for me. The new one is unintuitive, apparently bug filled, and slows my and all my player's computers to a crawl. We can't we just keep Legacy lighting? I pay a subscription to use lighting that won't work on my computer anymore once they switch to the new dynamic lighting. I know  it's not an issue with the lighting, but my computer, but is that not an important factor when making a system for your customers? Anyhow, when I try to use the new dynamic lighting, simply to see if it works for me or not, it slows my and my player's computers to a crawl. No matter the situation, as soon as I turn it on, everyone starts to lag, similarly to animated tokens and advance fog of war (but neither are a big deal as they are far more optional "high end" additions to my subscription). I've used less tokens, smaller maps, deleting handouts and character slots, deleting archived maps, and different browsers, but none of it works for myself or any of my players. The only ones who don't have as many problems are the ones using higher end PCs. Is there a way for me to use the new lighting system without having to just buy a new PC that I can't and won't be able to afford for a few years to come? Or maybe a way to keep the old lighting system?

Good luck to you. The bugs forum (where we are now) frequently goes without any response. Roll20 has started asking people to use the HELP CENTER (link at the top) to report bugs now-a-days.
