Slow move component

Hi,

I've got this definition which generates 81 rather simple surfaces, and a move component that places each one of them so that they are equally spaced.

When I connect my surfaces to the move component, the laptop starts a-humming and puffing and takes forever to generate the new surfaces.

Then, the whole definition becomes ultra-slow and it's tough to bake them.

It seems that the problem is linked to the fact of moving surfaces (curves don't seem to give any trouble) using large values of displacement - my model is in millimeters.

Cheers,

Is it still slow if you switch off the preview? How about if you switch to wireframe preview?

Hi David,

Yep, wireframe is fine, and switching back to shaded will make my macBook's fan produce the white noise advertised by apple as being less annoying thanks to irregularities in the fan blade placement.

As Armin pointed out, this does not happen if the whole thing is scaled 1/10th, so it seems to be a combination of large coordinates and shading...

Cheers,
