  • [comment u/WinterLord] Brother, yesterday it took me almost 20 minutes to open a v30 project. Once it opens, it’s perfectly fine, but hoooooooly shit does it take forever.

  • [comment u/Robbudge] I find it funny when I get memory warnings on a small project with 128Gb of ram. Not to mention constant unloading and reloading everything I change window.

  • “Brother, yesterday it took me almost 20 minutes to open a v30 project. Once it opens, it’s perfectly fine, but hoooooooly shit does it take forever. What I’m not sure of, is if it takes so long because of all the company IT bullshit. Seriously considering getting another laptop through the maintenance budget and keeping it air-gapped as much as possible so IT doesn’t lose their shit.”

  • “I really don't understand how it manages to be so slow. Even old computers are incomprehensibly fast. How can slow software even exist? It truly boggles my mind.”
