Hi! Since updating to the latest service release (SR10 2021-9-13) Rhino shows the busy indicator (color circle mouse pointer) every few seconds and blocks all operations in the program for some seconds. The delays increase on bigger models (or if more Rhino models are open at the same time) until …

Hi Wagner - [image] wagner1: This behavior was not there prior to updating to this latest service release. Can you confirm that running the previous version (which was that?) does not show this behavior? -wim

Hello! I had the problem after installing the automatic update today. Prior to this I did not have this problem (I am always using the latest version, so I used the version prior to the current version without this behavior.) Is it possible to downgrade to the previous version? Then I can double c…

Hello, I have experienced similar issues. After upgrading to 7.10.21256.17002, Rhino has become extremely slow, pausing every few seconds, making it near impossible to do any work. I have also noticed that the issue appears to subside when I hide the layer containing external blocks. Similarly to Wa…

In Preferences > General, change your Updates to Service Release Candidate. I’d be curious to see if SR11 runs better. Any luck?

Hello! I also noticed a speed improvement when hiding layers. In my case the drawings are composed almost exclusively from external referenced blocks. Thanks.

Hi Wagner - [image] wagner1: Is it possible to downgrade to the previous version? Assuming that you are only running final Service Releases (as opposed to release candidates), the previous version is Rhino 7.9 . Note that, on the Mac, you can simply rename the icon when you have installed a v…

Hallo! I now installed SR11 and after a quick test it seem to work better.

Excellent. It’s up to you, but you might want to set your update frequency back to Service Release. It’s good to get help with the month long stability period for the Service Release Candidates, but we understand that not everyone can handle the higher risk of problems.

Thank you for the prompt response, John and Wim. Upon installing SR11 I noticed a slight improvement regarding the issue. It is, however, still very difficult for me to to work while keeping the layer with blocks visible, as the program freezes every 10 seconds or so. (For reference, my file is rela…

Hello! The same experience here. The SR11 (Rhino 7 SR11 2021-9-14 (Rhino 7, 7.11.21257.07002, Git hash:master @ f3e5632493b0a604bf7ed37e86dbb9b00e0ea542)) works better but still not smooth. My drawing is about 40MB and also uses a lot of external referenced blocks. The blocks are very small (80kB t…
