1Password For Safari Extension Makes Safari Launches Sluggish

I have found reviews from some with much newer macs mentioning the same issue with the 1Password for Safari extension. Is there a way to resolve this or might an update address this in the future? With the extension installed Safari does not launch for several seconds and the beachball appears before the window opens to my start page. Without the extension installed, I have deleted it for now, Safari launches almost immediately with no beachball and no lag or multi-bounces. I have seen no issues running 1Password 8 without the extension installed, although my initial feeling is that 7 seemed simpler or more intuitive for me. But I will get used to it, however I have not touched my wife’s computer as she would complain especially if the extension were also installed. I prefer to minimize complaints and problems for now. She uses her laptop much more frequently than I do, I primarily use my iPad Pro.
