Hey Manny, Thanks for looking into it. I"m going to send you a video later today showing you just how slow it is. Its more than just having too many parameters set to keyable.
Your point about limiting the keyable parameters is 100% true and I should have locked several of them out. But with that said, this rig does not have that many parameters or objects in it to account for the 6 second delay that I experience on every system at this company. With that said. I have found something interesting. Last night while we chatted, I tried the scene on my laptop at home, and the issue was largely gone. This makes no sense to me as I have done heavy testing here with the workgroup disconnected and a vanilla softimage and gear install. And had the 6 second delay. I now think it might have to do with our system configurations here, I am looking into it. Thanks for the help, Please don't close this ticket yet. The problem is larger than just "too many keyable parameters" -Enrique On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 6:24 AM, Alan Fregtman <alan.fregt...@gmail.com>wrote: > Forgot to say, it's the same deal if you lock the param value.
