I’ll weigh in here. I have noticed at times my Mac becoming slow and extremely laggy to input. Quitting all my apps, including LC seems to resolve it, although I never dug in any deeper. (Honestly I thought it was a Chrome or web page issue and I am used to those.) Next time I see the issue I will dig further.

Confirmed here on macOS 10.14.5. The CPU load is indeed quite dramatic with modal dialogs. I also checked on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04), and LC does not exhibit the problem there.
