Android Studio slow since macOS update

Since I updated my Macbook 2016 Touch Bar to Catalina 10.15.6, android studio seems to perform quite slow and laggy. Even scrolling is starting to lag pretty hard. I already set up my laptop again and deleted everything that was on it. but still nothing got better. Idk what to do, because coding like that gets pretty annoying.

Does anyone know a solution to this?
