Hey @jinsley8, sorry for the delay and thanks for bumping your post.
Local version 3.x uses VirtualBox to run the site environments. It could be that VB is running low on resources. It might be worth trying to open up the VM settings there and bump up memory/processor resources.
Alternatively, you the beta versions of Local may offer better performance without having to mess with VirtualBox anymore. Local 5.x runs without a VM so there’s a lot of performance benefits to it:
