long UI times when large sim in scene..

[amckay]

hey bud - yeah I find viewport draws slower than the preview window if you are doing complex sims. but if you have that stuff off you'd think that the ui would pop up quickly as all the settings are stored in the container not the file right?

you can check its not a memory footprint by changing the big sim output path to a new file and then try to reopen it and see if it takes forever to load still or if it suddenly is instant. and if it is then thats obviously reading the file in.

yeah that is a bit odd. Hopefully Kreso can verify whether its reading either the fdc or fxd info upon loading.

I tend to do garbage cleanups constantly too just to flush any excess memory after big ass sims. doesnt help 'tooo' much but can help from crashing if you're doing sims all day long.
