With this latest build it's almost quicker to obtain a usable render than to wait for the whole thing to even open up the viewport!
I am talking about geometry heavy scenes, but I don't remember loading times were an issue before v2.11
I have not seen obvious load time increases with a pretty complex project I have been working on (on the screaming limit of what ArchiCAD can load at all, with 16GB RAM). And in fact experienced some welcome reduction if 2nd caching process is turned off for view port as implemented a few test versions back.
Possibly hard drive getting full/in need of defragging? Possibly some Windows page faulting involved during loading processes if your RAM is getting full?
Having 32gb RAM and Intel SSDs I'm pretty sure defrag is not the problem. Screaming limit is what we do, I understand perfectly!
It's worth mentioning that .pln files, textures, objs etc are on a server. I've tried migrating the project and working locally (like before 2.12) and it's the same impression.
This was a geometry heavy scene, since the proxy system is kind of a pain (having to do a low-poly representation of every model, framing a shot is a bit problematic if all you have in the viewport are cubes and cylinders, not to mention positioning objects..). Not to stray too much, as I've said previously, this needs some actual testing. WilI try to do that.
