(OP)
Why is NX sooo incredibly slow, especially when working in drafting. It is always updating, updating and updating. It drives me crazy!!

How many views are on your drawing sheet?
Set the system to manual updates, make your changes then turn auto update back on and cycle the sheets.

I work with 2 views and 1 sheet.
To manual will help a bit maybe but mostly when you change anything you want to see the result.

Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> View -> Threads
...and check to see if the 'True Hidden Line' option is toggled ON. If so, toggle it OFF and hit OK.
Now since it was ON, this means that all of your Drawings were probably created with this option ON as well, so you will need to open your Drawings and select your views (you can select ALL the views at once and change all of them), press MB3, select 'Style', open the 'Threads' tab and toggle OFF the 'Render True Hidden Line' option. This will improve the performance of updating Drawing views.

I toggled it of but it doesn't seem to help a lot.
But thanks anyway.

Is this an assembly you created in a previous version of NX?
If yes, how was the performance?
You can also check your network settings to see if there is a bottleneck in getting the data from your network.

I don't know how and what to check about the network settings. But isn't it right that once it is loaded in your pc's ram it doesn't use the network anymore?

The geometry does not contain any imported geometry.
I've examined the geometry and did not found any errors. This is what it says:
Tiny objects found = 878
Misaligned objects = 60
Face - face inconsistency
Please replace incorrect geometry (many times)
Number of boundaries found = 32
Number of faces with possible spikes/cuts = 6
Number of unsmooth edges found = 190209
But I have no idea if some of these numbers are bad and how to get rid of them. By clean part maybe?

The list shows enough errors to explain the bad update times.
Are you sure all components are native NX? Maybe some of them contain imported STEP or, worse, imported IGES geometry.
In my experience, IGES is a notoriously geometry failure.
Try setting the angle and distance tolerance in modelling preferences to a lower value. Hope this helps.

look into Help -> Design -> Dafting -Assembly->
there are some tipps how to deal with large assebly drawings.
For my large assemblys it was very helpful to use the extracted edges in a view and turn automatic view updates off by default,
and thre is a lot more you can do. For your imported gemometry optimization - remove useless segmetation - Modeling -> insert->combine->join face first option.
