Saving and running layouts from the software (slooow!)

I'm getting a lot of lag when saving, and when selecting "Run layout" from the software.

When I save, it takes a long time for the process to finish (like 2 minutes or a little more on average) and the windows message windows always say "not responding" while it's running the process. And when I select to Run a layout it basically does the same thing.

I just got another CPU 2 weeks ago so now I'm running Vista with 1.34 GB's of vram, 3 GB's of memory, AMD Athlon Dual core 2.3 GHz.

Is there anything I can do to get better performance?

All depends on what it is you're doing, and how much you got of it. Post a cap so people can see if it happens to them, or make suggestions on how to optimize.

I'm on a mobile device right now, but will try to post later.

What I can say at the moment though, is that I have one layout with a 30 frame animation that totals about 800 kb's per frame. That one loads the Run layout function slow and saves slow.

I've also had a frame where there was just one picture totaling about 2 MB's, and that one did the same.

If you run twice is it just as slow the second time? The second time it should cache the images which are the slowest part, and run a lot quicker.

Yep. In fact, no matter how many times I save or run the same layout even without making changes to it, I get the exact same lag.

Also, when I run debug layout and attempt to to restart the layout in the debug commands, it does the same thing. Pretty much everything lags except opening the program or running a layout with no objects in it.

Could you post a .cap that does this somewhere?
