The RX 580 is very safe in OSX. I don't know exactly what is going on, but a good test would be to see if you can install Houdini on a different Mac and see if the problems persist. Sometimes these things are not easily repeatable, even with identical systems.

Ok, I just opened your Curve file. Here's what's happening (this is on my Mac Book Air running the latest Catalina and H.391):
In the OBJ context, there are no slowdowns.
In the SOP context, if I select the Auto-Select PSR tool, then I experience the slowdown, however, if I click on the Move, Rotate or Scale tools individually, then I experience no slowdown. Further, if after clicking on the Move tool, I go back to the Auto tool, the slowdown is gone.
Sounds like a bug, and since I don't have an AMD GPU on this machine, I'm pretty sure it's not AMD-related.

Is anyone getting stuck in tumble mode on MacOS? Where you need to press esc key to get out.
H17.5.417
P.S. jumping on a Windows laptop, Houdini runs way better. i7-7700HQ 4 core @ 2.8/turbo 3.8, Win10, gtx 1060, 16GB ram. Not getting any of the sillyness seen in this thread. Sad.
EDIT: unfortunately Windows also has the hair disapperaing issue with HQ lighting… maybe Linux is the only good one out there! Bug (ID# 100479).

I think it happened to me before, and I traced it down to a funky Bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo.

can you please try - view tool/camera icon.
Press LMB, then click RMB (whilst holding the LMB), then release LMB, then release RMB. The viewport should stay locked in tumble mode.
EDIT: This issue affects the tab menu too. Once you do the LMB then RMB release trick, as above, the tab menu then automatically will drop a node when your cursor leaves the submenu. This causes the wrong node to be dropped and much frustration. See screen recording.
