Massive slowdown of material editor since 4.19.2

I have an issue with the material editor in the latest versions of UE4, every time when I made the smallest change to the material graph, even if I just touch a disconnected node, it starts to recompile every time, and it takes more than a minute. I googled similar problems, and tried everything that I can, with no success. I made two videos comparing how fast it takes to change color in the material editor. Results below.


  • Normal behavior, working till 4.18.3
  • Massive slowdown since 4.19.2

For this test, I created fresh projects from 3rd person template with default settings, using BP.


My pc setup:

  • cpu i7 3770k
  • gpu gtx 1070
  • ram 16gb ddr3
  • ssd 120gb
  • os win10
