SP2 installed fine but I got this message? Not sure what the effects are so FYI only. I did correct my files where the origin marker in the screen rulers was not available.

It's ok to click ok.   There was a post somewhere that said basically there is a new preference setting that didn't exist previously which triggered that warning.

Space objects are now joy enriched with many many beach balls of death.

 

Any change double beach ball about 8-10 secs each. so 20secs inactive per change.


Even in new files, or this is a specific file behaving this way? I was not able to replicate this on a few upgraded files or in a new blank one.

New files a still get a clear stutter like it has returned control but then grabs it back. Neither pause is a enough to beach ball, both are worse if object has transparency.

 

Problem gets distinctly worse as the you work with files with more geometry on another visible layer. Even if I add a space for the first time to a reasonably complex file. I get a clear stutter. Testing a number of files that had spaces pre service pack 2 and stutter becomes greater to the point of beach balling.

Before that, I'd recommend resetting preferences. I have a couple Space-heavy files here that myself and a few QA members can't replicate the slowness in and they suspect it might be an issue with your user plugin prefs.
