On occasion, yes, but usually when the offloaded model is a dependency of something else going on in the scene. Eg: the loaded scene content needs the offloaded model for something.

To describe my problem more simply: Offloaded references hang Softimage. Loaded references don't. That doesn't make much sense does it? Did you experience something similar?

Models have additional metadata which force additional validation checks and processing of deltas. You're experiencing normal behavior. We have the same issues. The best I can suggest is to keep your edits lean on the referenced models and remove any unnecessary crap such as construction history. Above all, don't put lights in models. For some reason they bring Softimage to it's knees.

The scene opens relatively quick but as soon as I unroll the hierachy containing all the reference models (in the explorer), Softimage stops responding. If I open the same scene without modifying the scntoc, the scene takes more than an hour to load but once it's open everything is fine. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks! Vincent
