I am actually having the opposite problem, and I posted something last light about it looking for help.
What I am seeing is the system preview, and APK working perfectly, but the remote preview is the one with lag problems switching between layouts (sometimes 5 seconds when it should be instant) and timing trigger issues. The wait related triggers were giving me very unpredictable results only seen in the remote preview. When I increased the wait time by a tiny bit, the trigger problems went away.
