If this were about the frontend (website), my first choice would definitely be eager loading.

However, I’m specifically talking about the control panel, straight out of the box.

I’m a heavy Neo user, and my “content builder” is a Neo field with about 40 (sub-)block types. Overall, I’m using 116 fields in my project, which is a boilerplate for other projects.

With Craft 4.12.x and Neo 4.2.x, I was very satisfied with the performance in the control panel as well as on the frontend (website).

However, after updating to Craft 5.4.x and Neo 5.2.x, the performance of the control panel has slowed down dramatically (on my local DDEV environment), and on my hosting (shared webspace), it’s become completely unusable due to PHP out-of-memory errors.

If I had developed something custom, I wouldn’t be asking for help, but I’m simply using the control panel as provided, out of the box.

In the attached screenshot, you can see a comparison of the debug toolbar between Craft 4 and Craft 5 with the same entry and identical content. The Neo configuration remained unchanged, but the result shows that events, logs, memory usage, and database queries have increased significantly.
