I was having the same problem, thought it was just my machine. Happens to me when I'm listening to music in Chrome
If its when you listen to music in chrome, it sounds like your ram is limited. Try using google ultron to download more: http://ultronbrowser.io/
How many artboards are you loading? (on average) Anything particularly complex about your projects? (ie. large amounts of symbols) What hardware are you using?
I can say that I've got some pretty large projects, and I haven't seen any noticeable slowdown.
Barely any symbols (2-3 maybe?). I used to have up to 100 artboards, with tons of images and it worked flawlessly. It now starts to slow down after only 30 or something. It doesn't matter if it's all vector for example. I even cleaned up my fonts to have a really limited set available and enable ones I need, when I need them. It's a mac mini (late 2014, 16gb of ram, 512gb ssd to a Dell 3415").
I was having the same issue but it was Craft causing the extremely slow loading times.
No craft, although I use some other plugins for pie charts and filling random content from time to time, but I had them before.

Have feedback?
With every version Sketch is slower and slower, but has more features. It takes me several minutes to open up a document with lots of artboards, before 3.5. I could have a file twice the size and it opened up immediately. Cannot even listen to music, because everytime I zoom in our out on a document, the music glitches.
