Bug: Performance in v8

for a long long time i am having issues with performance, i could never quite get what it is, but today i realised that even in heavy files, the performance seems to be ok but as soon as i select anything all viewport navigation model manipulation becomes so slow that its practically slowing me down a lot. the performance drop increases when the gumball is activated.

i have a file that i am working that drives me nuts, each click each copy takes so much more time. did anybody else experience that?
