Hi! I am surprised how extremely bad impact on performance has using blocks. I would think that blocks should boost the file in terms of performance and not the opposite? I tried small test in attached file which contains 400 simple curve blocks. Testmaxspeed: with block - 64.5 sec, 1,5 FPS blo…

Blocks improve file size and memory use, but not display - you still have to show the same thing on the screen. There are also some problems with how the display needs to be calculated for blocks, so in V6 in any case it’s generally slower than for discrete elements (IIRC). Some of that has been a…

So basically what you are saying is, that block will be always problem in terms of display performance? I do not know how far the improvements go in R7, but this difference was quite unexpected :slight_smile:

Please give V7 a try if you get a chance.

Hi @stevebaer I tried and I got an even worse result. with block - 76.5 sec, 1,3 FPS block exploded - 31.3 sec, 31 FPS running this: Version 7 WIP (7.0.20133.12126, 2020-05-12)

Hi @petumatr , did you try the same scene in V5? From my experience, I’m pretty sure that the same file will be way faster in V5. As I mentioned in a few other posts, performance in V6-V7 is really really slow compared to V5 as if something is wrong with the new versions.

Hi, not yet. I will give it a stab :slight_smile:

Heisann - [image] petumatr: I tried small test in attached file […] I’m not seeing an attached file, could you post that? (mainly wondering if you are talking of 400 different block definitions or 400 instances of the same block definition - but having a file that we can look at would proba…

Hei! Damn, my fault, sorry… here it (hopefully) is. curve block performance.3dm (3.3 MB)

Just tested your file on my old MacBook Pro 2013, as I’ve been experiencing lately, V5 is considerably faster than V6 and V7. V5 Testmaxspeed= 13.87 seconds V6 Testmaxspeed= 35.15 seconds (2.84fps) V7 Testmaxspeed= 31.84 seconds (3.14fps)

Hi @jespizua , thanks for testing! Well, that just confirms what you said. Is this MacBook Pro with Nvidia card? It is interesting you achieved a better result than on my newer one MacBook Pro 2017. [image] wim: 400 different block definitions or 400 instances of the same block definition In …
