Hi Martin,thanks for looking into this. Over here we use playback ALL frames (vs Realtime) and limit the max playback speed to "scene frame rate" in the playback prefs. When switching to realtime (RT) on the playback tab, this playback issue becomes even worse. When we don't limit the playback fps we don't notice a slowdown and it will also play back at 200+fps. It only appears once the the frame rate has been clamped. We have tested the scene on several machines(with slightly different hardware settings) and some have it more apparent than others(One of the machines doesn't seem to have the problem, although the graphics card is still the same). In XSI 2014 sp2 the scene plays back well on every machine.
This is a bit of a puzzler!

Over here your scene plays back with either >220 fps (no vsync) or with stable 60 fps (vsync enabled). I left it running for a few minutes and could not find any noticeable slowdown or increase in memory consumption... What is happening on your machine?

When we loop through the animation we occasionally get a stuttering effect and a noticeable slowdown. It doesn't seem to be memory related, at least the process manager states the ram is constant. Changing v-Sync didn't fix the problem either. I wonder if it's hardware related? We are using HP Z420 machines (Quadro 4000 graphics card, Xeon CPU E5-1620 @ 3.6GHz )Is anyone else able to recreate this? it seems to only effect 2015.Regards,Tim https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt3k414dwleyq9d/DB_layout_01_anim_speed_test_v01__rk.scn?dl=0
