Wireframe rotation SLOW in Wildfire

Wireframe rotation SLOW in Wildfire

Wireframe rotation SLOW in Wildfire

(OP)
Have ya'll noticed how slow wireframe mode is?  It used to be tons faster than shaded mode (back in the good ol' 2001i^2 days).  But now it's painfully slow.  

Shaded mode is nice sometimes, but many times I'd rather work in wireframe.

Is there a secret setting I don't know about?

RE: Wireframe rotation SLOW in Wildfire

I have turned off preselection highlighting in config.pro, that seems to help all rotation & zooming, shaded or otherwise. Since I miss it sometimes, I have just saved a different config file with it enabled so I can load & apply that quickly if I want preselection. I don't miss it often though. It will speed things up quite dramatically.

RE: Wireframe rotation SLOW in Wildfire

(OP)
i kind of did the same thing:  i've got a mapkey that turns the preselect from "smart" to "annotation"...

but i still think it's slower than the good 'ol proe2001 days..

or maybe i'm becoming that grumpy old man we're all destined to become (or grumpy old woman for some of ya'll)
