Hello,

I am just learning LW and following a tutorial from a book. There I am creating some sort of Robot Light. It all goes well but now I almost finished it every action I take is going very slowly. It is so bad I can not work with it as my screen does not update instantly. So I move an object and can't see where it is going. After a few seconds the screen is refreshed and my object is ofcourse not in the right place. And I have to start guessing again. This is not workable.

I checked the statistics and saw I had over 100.000 polygons. Some of them I had to convert to CCsubpatches. I already turned off some display options but that did not help. I work with MS Vista and switched to Highest performance which made no difference. I am working on an Acer 7720 notebook with 2G memory (part of it is shared video memory).

Any idea why it is so very slow and what I can do about it.
