I am working with an XY .txt file of a table of 96 points (originally collected in GCS_WGS_1984). They include lat/long columns, as well as several other data columns of various metadata for each point/row. It was added to my blank map (Map is WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_10N) via "add XY data". While it successfully showed up on the map at the expected scale, it was running ran extremely slow and draw times took 10-15 seconds every time I so much as clicked on the layer in the table of contents, or tried to move the map with the "pan" hand. I then tried projecting it from GCS_1984 to the map's coordinate system (as stated above, 1984_UTM_10N) via the "project" tool and exported it to the geodatabase I created for this map. This still has no alleviating effect and the draw times can still be abysmally slow.
The machine I am working on has no shortage of horsepower, but that shouldn't be a problem anyway for a map with only a single point data set associated with it. Working on ArcMap 10.7.
What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
