Who is successfully running Venus OS on Raspberry Pi 4 8GB?

Hi! After unsuccessfully trying to install Venus OS on my Raspberry Pi 4 8GB for almost 4 days, I am wondering if somebody is running a new Version of Venus OS successfully? 2.9 or 2.91?
I am able to install it, but it will only show Grid with 2 Lines, instead of 3 and my DBUS addons (Serialbattery and Fronius Smart Meter) are not working. Also it is very slow and laggy. Trying to open Remote-Konsole often fails also :(
How did you install it? And which Version did you use?
Thank You!!!

I have been using and tested the RPI4 8Gb using both a rev 1.4 and rev 1.5 board from 2.90 beta's through to the latest 2.91. I have had no performance issues. Maybe there is something strange going on with the Serialbattery or Fronius Smart Meter.

What do tools such as top show is happening with CPU and memory. Are there any processes which are hogging the CPU.

What do logs show?

Maybe it is running on a low frequency to save power or temperature throttle.
