I just want to ask developer why don't you put resoures into the archive.rpa? Mod runs much more slower and has stutters than original because of it.
.RPA has nothing to do with stutters, it's about IO which is being worked on. Check our gitea instance for details, link is on our website.

Yet I've recompiled your game, put almost everything resourses in .rpa and the game starts to work much more smoother. Yes, there are still some stutters, but their numbers drastically decreased.
It's just how OS works with a lot of files. Try to copy 10000 files from one drive to another - it takes eternity. Put them into one single archive with no compression and copy - it will be much more faster.

they already replied that they removed the old content from Luna, but maybe they intend to bring it back later

Loading the archive entails decompression and real-time loading of files into memory, which results in a larger memory footprint and increased cycle count compared to loose files. The side effect you are encountering is due to the loading of all files into memory, which is not desirable. Therefore, I am implementing prediction to our custom statements and minimizing IO overhead to address this issue.

Archive handling does not enhance performance, and in fact, developers advise caution in their use since they render source code inaccessible. As Witch Trainer Silver is an open-source project, it is crucial to maintain its open nature, even for game releases.

Is it normal that the game be so slow? several times a character 'freezes' while speaking and I have to wait like 3 minutes for the text to appear, I think it's because of the animation of the mouth that moves when they speak.
And now my saves have been deleted, when I opened the game and tried to load one they appeared as 'incompatible'.

Can't speak to the speed of the game, but may I ask how old your saves were; because the devs have been fairly upfront about the fact that saves from older versions (pre 1.40) don't work, i.e. are incompatible, with the current version.

The saves were from the latest version, maybe they were deleted because I exited the game using the X because I didn't want to wait 5 minutes to go to the start menu?

starting as easy as playing solitaire, just dblclick ext and after game loads press start.

could be your system but devs are making changes so game runs more smoothly.
