DC Toolbar slowing Sketchup?
I have noticed that if the DC Toolbar is ON (visible) the third button, with tooltip: "Component Attributes (Pro Only)" continously calls Sketchup.is_pro? to decide whether it should be grayed (on free version,) or colored/active (for pro version.) It's even worse (happens more often,) if you move the mouse.
Seems to me, the "pro check" should either be done at toolbar definition and omit the 'pro' button for the free version, OR the check should be done after the user clicks the button. If pro, it does it's thing, if Free it would pop up a 'Sorry Charlie' messagebox (with a link to buy Pro of course.)
But to dog-down the application just to decide whether to paint 1 button is <insert your own explicatives and adjectives here>.
So heads up on this. You may wish to have that toolbar off when not doing DC work.

Yep, I've noticed this slow-down also. For me, it seems to be worst when I simply select a lot of geometry. Probably more noticeable on older machines.
