Plugins known to slow down SketchUp 8
-
Can we have a list of plugins here known to slow down SketchUp 8 so that their developers can make improvements in same...
-
Did you ever discover any plugins slowing down your system arjun? Its been a few weeks, I hope you took the time to test it.
-
Every plugin slows SU down when you launch it as they also need to be launched with SU. The more you have, the slower SU starts.
-
V-Ray for SketchUp adds considerable time to SU's loading time. So I keep it unloaded most of the time until I need to render. But it does not slow down SU while working.
Also, are we talking about slowing down while working? Or slowing down initial load time?
There are many plugins that could be updated to run faster, but I've not noticed anyone that slows down SU in general.
-
3D devices like explorers, navigators, etc also slow SU down noticably. I have been using an Explorer for years and when I started using SU8 initially there was no support for my device, so I slummed it with just a mouse and initially I thought the version 8 was faster than 7, until I got the updated drivers and the speed wend back down to what I had in version 7.

I think the intent is if you know get a list started some where. I have seen more than once posting of plugins doing " bad( problem causers)" things but the list is where? May be a sticky kink would help??
Chris; I recently tried using your component stringer but loading per your posting direction did not work including not showing in your cf location. I attempted to do a max entropy search and tried to find any plugin possibly causing a problem but with all the plugins, the different folders and interactions the first attempt resulted in more errors that the original.I did not want to try one at a time so, I removed all plugins (rb) and the folders in the WE plugin fplder to a desk top folder and reinstalled. Guess what it started working but I have no idea why. In addition although the sequence ( map) of the plugins in the SU plugin directory was maintained the locations of plugins changed in the SU drop down , yours now show in your folder but TIG's extrude does not show in his folder now
So a list of consolidated list would be very helpful of both slow and "bad"
As I am a free user I don't have much of a dog in the issue here but I have become more and more concerned of the postings of tool bar issues, interactions etc. This can eventually impact Google support cost of paid users and I hope some type of control will eventually be started like Rathburn(sci) was trying before Google clamps down on plugins to protect their cost. -
I had some issues with SU8 being very slow. But after a complete uninstall and re installation again it was fast and snappy again.
