I'm running both Pale Moon and Brave on multiple computers, having recently started moving away from Pale Moon as my primary browser.
No issues or lag observed yet, including when middle-clicking to open a new tab (zero delay opening the tab). This is on both Windows 10 and 11, with the same amount of RAM as you, but using mobile Ryzen chips. I haven't tested the latest release on my i9 desktop yet.
Have you tried running the same new tab tests using a clean profile?
The sudden loss of legacy extensions a few updates ago, combined with the recent dev and forum drama, was enough to make me doubt the future of Pale Moon. The number of incompatible websites has also grown significantly as of late, and even though that's mostly Google's fault, I can't avoid the need for a functional browser.

Due to them changing to being basically another Firefox fork?
I used to use it and that’s the boat I’m in.
