Upgraded recently from 2008 to 2012 on the same computer. Very poor performance on 2012 compared to 2008 (& i was told technically 2008 would not even run on my current OS!). Very slow booting, saving, picking, scrolling, slow everything. Crashes more than 2008. Even turned off stuff like zoom line thickness which I always used to use, still no better.
Doubled my RAM prior to the upgrade yet v2008 on half the RAM was waay faster. Have installed all the service packs and check regularly for updates. Guess before too long I will just use v2012 as a very expensive autocad translator and then do all my work back in the 2008 version.
If you dont need to deal with current autocad version translations, then i dont recommend an upgrade to 2012.
Interesting to note this thread was started in january yet seems no response here from Vectorworks.
