Vw2020 SP3 So sluggish, its unusable

[RainsforthJ]

As the title says really, VW2020 SP3 Spotlight is so sluggish, its unusable, it's been like this for some time. It doesn't just become VW but the whole computer grinds to a halt, as soon as I close VW its fine and re-open fine for about 5 min of use then plummets again!

 

macOS Catalina 10.15.4

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)
2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Radeon Pro 450 2 GB/Intel HD Graphics 530 1536 MB

 

Any reason you can think of? All of my work is done in 2d, no 3d at all, don't use viewports, just saved sheet layers and the files are by no means big!

 

Thanks in advance

I have heard this from a few people, but it is certainly not the normal experience.

 

Take a look at this thread and see if creating a new User Folder or reinstalling VW helps.

 

Also check your System Preferences: Energy Saver and try turning off Automatic Graphics Switching.

I had similar issue too, often it takes so long to create a viewport. Since I was in the middle of a project at the time I roll back to SP2 and it was working so much better.
