Open Join seems to slow down my phone tremendously

Hey all,
I recently installed join, and love all of its features. However, since installing the app, my phone has slowed to a crawl. Every operation is sluggish.

Screen rotation takes at least 2 or 3 seconds after I rotate the screen, and entering text in apps suffers from a very noticeable delay. That is, once I start typing everything is fine, but actually starting to type takes a good two or three seconds after I try typing in to a text box. I haven't done testing to see which features of join are causing this, but I'm certain that join is causing it, because the moment I uninstall Join, the problems go away and the phone operates at it's normal speed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I was happy to buy the program given the reviews and usefulness and efficiency of Tasker, but can't use join as configured now.

Thanks
