I have a more powerful computer and Matlab 2020 does the simple calculation with reasonable speed on it:


    >> tic;6+4;toc;
    Elapsed time is 0.000156 seconds.

Therefore I think it's simply the Matlab environment that is too heavy for your computer and not a problem with Matlab 2020 itself. See the [recommended hardware specifications for Matlab 2020](https://www.mathworks.com/content/dam/mathworks/mathworks-dot-com/support/sysreq/files/system-requirements-release-2020a-windows.pdf). Even on my system the startup of Matlab can take ~10 seconds. It's really demanding.
