I’m getting very strange slowdowns while trying to start modeling with Blender 2.32. It starts out fine, but after a few minutes it gradually starts to take longer and longer to respond to input. It seems fairly random, but eventually after 2 minutes of simple modeling (extruding a small 30 vertex model from the default cube + move the camera around) - it can take up to 15 seconds between pressing a key or pressing a mouse button and getting the response. It’s most obvious when trying to rotate the 3D view, feel like the mouse button isn’t working, click + move again, nothing, click + move again, then suddenly it starts working.
I’ve just moved up to a 3GHz Pentium 4 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, latest drivers and everything (Blender 2.32, Windows 2000, 1GB of memory, nothing else running). Performance issues should not be a problem since I used to run Blender just fine on an old Pentium 3.
Anyone have any possible answers? It sounds like a timing bug with fast CPUs, or maybe screen redraws piling up and never being flushed properly - but I don’t want to start digging through the code unless absolutely necessary…
