Also, I forgot to mention, could you try a very old auto-build to see
if that has the same slowness:

If you find that the oldest is not slow, then narrowing down the date
range would help a lot.

hey folks,
the new UI in 0.40-3 extended looks super nice - but on my machine
(dual i386 2.0Ghz / MacOsx 10.4) it seriously degrades UI performance,
especially with Graph on Parent objects.for example, loading a small GOP abstraction with four bang
buttons, two checkboxes, a number box, a slider and a vu meter takes a
noticeable amount of time with 0.40.3-extended, but happens instantaneously with 0.40.2-vanilla. dragging this abstraction around the window suffers as well: on 0.40.3-extended when dragging this object the performance
drops down to about 10fps, whereas on 0.40.2-vanilla i can drag at what
seems to be the full framerate of my system (there's a bit of mouse lag
though).it seems such a shame, because it really is much nicer to work with, visually, but the sluggishness when i get sizeable patches going is
going to keep me on 0.40.2-vanilla with its old fashiouned ui. i assume the culprit is Tcl/Tk. i ask again: why are we using Tcl/Tk to
implement the UI part of a **graphical** dataflow language? Tcl/Tk is a user-interface toolkit, but we're asking it be a graphics platform, and it just
can't hack it.-- damian stewart | +31 6 5902 5782 | damian@frey.co.nz frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz
