At that point, something mustve been wrong with your instance. I'd never call jira fast, but the new ticked dialog on a unconfigured instance opens within <10s (which is absolutely horrendous performance to be clear. Anything more then 200-500ms is.)

Cloud Jira is notably slower than on-prem Jira, which takes on the order of 10 seconds like you said.

That does not mirror my own experience. And it's very easy to validate. Just create a free jira cloud instance, takes about 1 minute ( https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/try ) and click new issue.

it's open within 1-2 sec (which is still bad performance, objectively speaking. It's an empty instance after all and already >1s )

Ah, there's a new UI now. The last time I tested this, the entire look & feel was different and everything was in slow motion.

It's still sluggish compared to a desktop app from the 1990s, but it's much faster than just a couple of years ago.
