Recommendations about speed of Sworks
(OP)
I am running 2007 sp0.0 . I keep meaning to install sp5, but never get around to it. Anyway. Change a hatch and wait a 1 to 2 minutes. SOmetimes just saving will take forever. It has gotten worse over time and is not to the point of pathetic. its a 3.4 pentiumD with 4 gigs of ram and a quadro FX 1500. Besides something like a virus, is there anything else I can in SW to try to figure this out. I set my image quality to low. I probably need to install sp5, but since I havnt always had this problem, I know its not the version. I also run 2 22" monitors. Any pointer at all will be great. thanks

How large of a drawing are we talking, file size and drawing size?

Could try and reset your registry and see if you have a corrupt registry causing slow downs.
Make sure your video card driver is correct.
SP5 is probably not going to fix a slow down issue or a slow save, most likely its your machine.

Some drivers recommend to use the SolidWorks specific settings which can be selected from the List of Cad programs in 3d settings portion of your Nvidia driver settings.

If you reinstalled. did you clean the registry prior? If not, try renaming the registry per the link I provided above and see if that helps.

Head over to my blog at www.solidmuse.com and run the punchholder benchmark. The link to it is in the right sidebar. I have a SW2007 file to benchmark. I have a Google spreadsheet with rebuild times on all kinds of hardware.
You will be able to see how dog slow your computer is compared to new computer hardware.
SW2010 needs a bit more horsepower, but new computer hardware is way faster then what you have now.

Also there have been improvements in SW2008 and beyond in drawing regens. Drawings regens are multi-threaded and will use more then one cpu to regen the drawing.
