After the past 1.16.21 update on Nintendo Switch that fixed the freezing issue, and even now with the 1.16.40 hotfix, the whole system got very slow in almost any way. Pressing the home button for a while to make the quick menu appear takes like 3 seconds to do it (that is not something really annoying but stills being something that shouldn't happen). Recording a video of the game takes too long, taking almost 2 minutes to record only 30 seconds of gameplay, while other games take only 5 - 10 seconds to do it. And like those, there are many problems of the same kind. I hope there's a fix for it.

It crashes with me, too. But I just wanted to report the lag that all the system has, because the crashes seem to be at random points and I wasn't able to describe them.

I've had all of these issues on my Switch for a little less than 3 years

After the updated to 1.16.40 ,the game on switch takes forever to load, takes forever to load a saved world, takes forever to save a world. (By forever I mean sometimes more then 10 mins for each step)
The game is very slow and it redefines the word slow.
In addition, the issue that it was supposed to fix (account connection) wasn't fixed. Still there are issues connecting to the microsoft account thus one can't play in any network game

It's not a issue if you have barley anything on the system (like minecoins, marketplace content, etc.,). Do you have too many worlds, realms, etc. on your system?

How much free space on your switch do you have? This ticket relates to MCPE-95621.
migrated
I've used up 78.4MB from just having 12 worlds currently.
I barley have any resource packs (1) and it has used up only 2.7MB currently.
I currently have no world templates so therefore it has used 0MB

I have 5.7 GB free; I had to save on the cloud my mc data (1.8 GB) and stay in the initial 577 MB to work temporaly.

I swear every two minutes the save icon pops up and I just have to stop playing until it finishes, which can take a long time.

@Ryan Fulcher please don't swear on the bug tracker! I understand that when the save icon appears it lags out the game but it doesn't help the fact that you can complain about it.

In my case it still crashes, and I have to wait 20 minutes to load the menu.
