Sketchup 8M2 speed and instability
-
I use the Mac version of Sketchup, have done since version 6. Perhaps its me thats getting old and slowing down but it appears to me that this latest version is the slowest yet. Simple operations (opening files, saving files, imports, etc) seem to take a very long time. Is my perception of time warped or even sprained or is M2 really slow?
Stability of M2 is also poor. Using TIG's cleanup plugin I get crashes to desktop (often without the Google error reporting box). Repetitive renders with the latest Shaderlight also cause crashes to desktop.
I don't think I have a hardware issue, 2.93Ghz Core 2 Duo, 8Gb of DD3 RAM and an nVidia GT130 video card.
Anyone else think that M2 is slow and a little unstable ?

No - no difference at all.

Fine here also.

I had a problem with M2 and plugins until I uninstalled and reinstalled Sketchup. If you go this route, backup your components, materials, and shortcuts first.

Quite the opposite for me, I find it faster and more stable.
Could it be a rogue plug in causing this?
Try SU with no plug-ins, (make copy of plug-in folder and rename it, then delete all plug-ins from original folder) see if problem persists if not then add plug-ins one at a time starting with the ones you had a problem with and see if you can find the problem.

Thank you for all the advice. Will try the plugin removal first and see what happens.
