Large Job Running Painfully Slow_Need Advice

[Vince Lisanti]

Hello all,

I have a rather large kitchen job that is running painfully slow. I would like some opinions from others on how it runs on your systems before I consider purchasing a new system. My average size jobs do not run like this. Mys system specs. are shown below. Ram is now 16GB not 4

Load times between editors will be helpful and what systems you are using to run it. Link to the public dropbox file is below.

Thanks

What are the main areas/functions that you noticing slowness with this job?

[Vince Lisanti]

Pretty much all areas of the job.
I am not as concerned about how long renderings take though as I am in the working areas, such as time to go from editor to editor and so forth.

I have noticed this same behavior in larger jobs. Going from room layout to CE takes a long time. Then moving between the different editors takes a long time. I have noticed a lot of regeneration of all parts of a cabinet even if I made no changes in an editor. The slowest is cabinets that have a multiple drawer boxes. Long time to regenerate these cabinets. Going from CE to room layout takes a real long time. I've gotten the point that I have Solitaire running so I can switch and play some cards while waiting. Same thing when Saving a large job. Click the save icon and go play Solitaire.

Not sure what can be done to optimize regeneration when things aren't changed, but I know things would really speed up with some more intelligence put into those algorithms. I know it's tough and time consuming. Just my two cents. I was a computer programmer for 18 years (EDS, Microsoft and my own software company).
