Hello-
Im running a not very complex model, and am experiencing a lot of lag when in layouts to the point where Rhino is not usable. its a 2.2 ghz core i7 MacBook, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 mb w/ 16 GB 2400MHz DDR4 ram so not a powerhouse but has always done fine by me for this type of work. What can I do to make this run a bit better? Thanks, -Revel

Hi Revel -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the output here.

Hi Revel -
Thanks. It’s not just an Intel UHD Graphics 630 in there, you have a Radeon Pro 555X as well 
Could you provide more information about this? Is there anything specific you do when in a layout that lags?
-wim
Never really had an issue until now! Come to think of it, seems to happen more when there’s a heat wave.
It’s specifically when I try to zoom and put dimensions on Page 2 of the Layouts. Right now that whole page is actually frozen, and I can do anything. In general Layouts seems quite laggy, whereas everything else is running nice and smooth.
-Revel
If you completely restart Rhino and don’t launch Grasshopper, does that make a difference?
