      is it true that the more rubies su has to load, the slower it will be to open?

      i'm sure su used to open faster in the past...

          V-Ray for SketchUp add a significant delay to SU's statup time. I made a plugin which prevents VfSU from loading at startup and let it be loaded on demand.

          There is a possibility that extensions adds significant load time.

            SU2POV also increases the open time substantially.

            If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

              that's interesting because i have SU2POV installed.

              thom, i like your idea of being able to load scripts as required. is your script specific to v-ray plugin or can it be generalised?

                I'm guessing that these plugins are registering onOpenModel() observers that are doing significant work - which isn't a brilliant engineering decision.

                Would be interesting to know what exactly they're doing.

                  Not V-Ray. The lag is only during the initial load of the plugin, not during creating of new model.

                  It's really simple. It renames the v-ray loaded from VRayForSketchup.rb to VRayForSketchup.rb.disabled and then adds a menu item that will load VRayForSketchup.rb.disabled on demand.

                    Could you use the extensions window to disable plugins? (if theyre written to reside there, of course.)

                      They won't be unloaded until next time you start SU though.

                        Good point, but as long as you turned it off each time you shouldnt have any problems.

                          it's not really a very serious issue. i was just wondering how much i should restrain myself when it comes to new rubies πŸ˜„
