Is slow loading of Designer Pro 11 Normal

[Acorn]

I've noticed the same delays in page refresh as the others mentioned here. But I really hit the wall when I embedded a Youtube video object. At first I thought it was trying to render the entire video, so I changed the View Quality setting to Outlines. That didn't help.

We're talking AT LEAST a two minute wait on refresh. That means each edit costs me two minutes of downtime where all I can do is sit and watch my cursor roll around.

I'm working on a perfectly capable machine, running the 64bit version of Xara Web Designer 11 Premium. I wonder, is there someplace in the application where I can allocate more memory to tasks so I can speed things up? This is really frustrating.

I don't embed YouTube files so this is a guess. This is a widget and therefore ends up as a shape with a Placeholder. Try unticking "Re-generate placeholder image automatically".
