Ed, If you are on a linux environment, you can issue an strace command on the softimage process id before you invoke the save and compare the output of both installs. On windows, this is somewhat more of a challenge, but there are tools to trace this as well and this vendor's tools do just that: http://www.smidgeonsoft.prohosting.com/.

In one location, everything is normal, and save operations are quick. In the other, identical scenes, with mirrored paths, save quickly, except during the "saving environments" phase, when it hangs for a good 15-20 seconds, occasionally more. I can't find any docs online describing what Soft is actually doing during the "Saving Environments" portion of a save, so debugging this has been difficult. Is it the "environments" that you can see through the Explorer when working with simulations (of which there are many live in the scenes)? Are they being put somewhere besides the project database? Any ideas?
