As the blog oosyrag linked to mentions, there is one golden rule in performance: use measurements. If you can't measure a performance problem, you don't have a performance problem. Trying to fix a non-existent performance problem will simply waste your time that you could be better spending making your game.

One thing I will add though: Construct's collision cells system means collisions already automatically only check nearby objects, which massively reduces the performance impact of collision checks with lots of objects. So you probably don't need to worry about that either.

I don't know, I'd just check the settings and see if anything looks like updates are disabled.

By default everything is set to auto-update. Again, this is a complete mystery to me, I have no idea how this could be possible.

As I mentioned it is still available. You just need the latest beta and Chrome 86+.

It's always been an opt-in feature and not enabled by default, because it's still in development and subject to change. It changed, and so we had to update it accordingly. Features are only enabled by default for all users when we're confident it'll work reliably.

It's an experimental feature and subject to change at any time. Currently it requires the latest beta and Chrome 86+.

That sounds like a bug that was already fixed.

Our code more or less just tells AdMob "show ad" and "hide ad".

Absolutely everything else, such as loading and displaying the ad, is handled by AdMob.

So if there's any issue with performance, I strongly suspect it is on AdMob's side. It is extremely difficult to imagine how code as simple as our "show ad" command could cause this type of problem. It is far more likely it's to do with displaying the ad, which is handled by AdMob.

Saving a folder project with just a few changes should save just a few changed files, which should be fast.

As ever it's difficult to say any more or do anything about it without a sample project and steps to reproduce (i.e. the bug report guidelines).

The changelog details everything we change, so it's probably this:

'Set mesh point' action now allows -1 for texture position in relative mode

No, it's not possible to import a C3 project to C2. Also C2 is being fully retired in July, so we don't recommend anyone use it any more. The only reason it is still available is to give existing C2 users more time to upgrade to C3.

Due to a bug in Safari, it will keep forgetting your saved login. I reported it to Apple about 2 years ago and (as sadly appears to be typical with reporting issues to Apple) they are yet to do anything about it.

It shouldn't cause you to lose work though. You can save your project regardless of your login state.

Using other browsers won't help, because Apple banned all other browser engines on iOS, so those are just skins for Safari.
