The latest 6.17 release candidate contains display optimizations in three different areas and are large enough changes that I could use your help in testing to make sure I didn’t break anything. Both Windows user and Mac users should benefit from these changes. I’m interested to know if anything in…

Hi @stevebaer , glad to hear :slight_smile: I will definitely try it out. Is there still some space for performance optimization for mac? Or does the performance tweaking hit the illusionary border? I just wonder why is the R6 performance so behind the R5…

[image] petumatr: I just wonder why is the R6 performance so behind the R5… Hi - most (ideally all) of that is due to the fact that the display quality is much improved in RH6. With default settings, it’s comparing apples to oranges. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t possible that there are cas…

This is due to the fact that in …

Hi @wim , I am sure that everybody appreciates the better quality and new display settings options. Undoubtedly really cool. Anyway, in terms of working with files, I just find very frustrating when you jump into the new software and the working environment is many times slower than the previous ver…
