When I try to duplicate a set of objects (highlight the objects then hit Command+D), even a very small one (8 knobs, 8 comment boxes), I get RIDICULOUS delays. So much so, that I check my email, or perhaps write this post, while waiting for a small handful of objects to be duplicated. Why is this? Could C74 please try to address this somehow in the next update?

Is this the case after a fresh launch too? Or does the wait time increase with the amount of time that max is active. Could it have to do something with an undo database that looses efficiency as it grows...

Something is definitely up. Even on my old laptop and duplicating a ton of objects, it takes only a few seconds, which is the longest I've ever experienced. Does the "Alt-Drag" method of copying take as long?

Possibly trashing the Preferences will help too, it seems to help various slowing-down issues with Max performance.

try closing inspector. I've noticed having it open can slow things down. i've sent this to support in the past.

Thanks, this has already been fixed for the next update.

how big is your patch? I found my patches were becoming very slow to do anything and so i encapsulated everything (i think that is the right term?) into smaller patchers so my main patch was neater and ran smoother.

Hiding connections also speeds things up, sometimes considerably.

Hi, by the way, when is the next update ?
