I've noticed that the performance problems seem to be quite strongly correlated with the number of resource packs that have been installed on the Switch profile running the game.
On my daughter's Switch profile she has a lot of packs downloaded from the minecraft store and the game is practically unplayable now. It takes over two minutes to just get to the start screen. Once you get into a world (not using any custom resources, just a plain new world on default settings) it starts lagging nearly immediately.
On my own profile (using the same microsoft account) I have fewer resource packs installed and it performs slightly better. It still takes over a minute to load and the game lags badly but not to the same extent as on my daughter's profile.
As a test I created a brand new switch profile and started the game without logging into any account and it booted in seconds. I created a new world and I didn't encounter any lagging or freezes after playing for 30 minutes.
Other notes:
The game is the download version from the nintendo eshop and it's saved to SD card.
We never play online multiplayer on any of the accounts but we do play a lot of local split-screen multiplayer.
