Is there a troubleshooting checklist for slow performance?

[Tom W.]

Lots of 2D linework can quickly slow things down too. Complex hatches etc. And as per other threads, some Graphic Legends seem to grind things to a halt on sheet layers

[Ed Wachter]

It looks to me like we're developing a checklist that might be helpful. I will consolidate all the suggestions into a list over the next couple weeks.

 

The question that now occurs to me is this: Will problematic objects affect performance if their layer or class is turned off?

The big 4 for my people...

 

Stuff far from the origin like @Benson Shaw said.

Site models built from contours that have way too many verticies, learn to model from points or clean up the contours prior to turning them into a site model

Using native objects with too much detail (Laubwerks plants, etc...)

Having too many object snaps active in a complex drawing, learn to turn them off and activate only as needed.

 

Of these, most would be surprised how quickly things improve in the worst of drawings the moment you turn all your snaps off.

Had no idea about snaps!
