Your Steam Deck might be running slow because it's running too many background applications. Try closing some apps and see if that helps!

You could have a lot of cached data bogging it down. Clear your cache and temporary files and give it another shot.

Have you updated the firmware recently? Sometimes, bugs and glitches can cause performance issues, so make sure everything's up-to-date.

Could be overheating. Make sure your Steam Deck has proper ventilation and isn't running for too long without breaks.

Might be the storage! If you've filled up the Steam Deck's storage, it can slow down. Make some space and check again.
