It’s the same sub second update on my laptop with a little i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz and onboard graphics. So it’s not the file, it’s not a lack of hardware…it has to be something with the config of my machine.

Would other Rhino installs affect anything? Since VSR is gone, I could get rid of v5 now. I rarely use 6 except to test scripts. And I’m not using the v8 WIP at the moment.
I’m in big trouble now though. I thought I’d go ahead and try a complete uninstall, re-install. Uninstalled all the regular and WIP versions, wiped out appdata, c:\programdata, and \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\McNeel.
Rebooted and installed rhino_en-us_7.30.23130.11001.exe. Now I can’t connect to the zoo server.
I created a firewall rule for Rhino.exe to have full in/outbound connections. I turned off firewall completely. I don’t think it’s even trying to connect.
I took one of my licenses out of my zoo and node-locked it to this PC. With stock Rhino, it’s an instant update. I’m going to add my settings back and see it it breaks.
I see on the slow box you are running a different SR, did you try running it in 7.29?
I’ll share this link with support to look at your licensing issue.
I update to every SR candidate, so yes it was slow in 7.29. This has been going on for at least a year.
I can’t be sure when it started exactly. I use a lot of history, especially since copy paste history was added. I knew it was slow for me, but I didn’t know it was fast for everyone else until someone made a comment.
One more question, I’m quite sure you tried without any third party plugins? To me it looks like some event listener is taking focus and preventing History update to run in one go.
Yeah, that was my thought as well. I disabled all 3rd party plugins and it showed them as not loaded, but nothing changed. I’m wondering if I should have gone in the registry and removed them. Maybe a c++ plugin was still doing something?
Is there no way to do a clean install? My ham-fisted approach to wiping out McNeel entries from the registry and eliminating all the plugins I’ve used over the years seems to have severely broken something.
They still haven’t figured out why this machine can’t use the Zoo, so I bought another license this morning to keep working, and now Rhino is full of little weird bugs like Loft’s randomly flipping, VS.NET debugger crashing, etc, etc.
And after a day and a half of it going fast, it’s back to super slow in the middle of a model. No configuration changes. It just started spitting out “creating meshes” and going real, real slow out of nowhere.
