I've not done a lot of work in Xara since this DL, but it's making me fricking crazy how slow everything has become. Of course, it could be my machine (it's an i7, sandy bridge, 2.2Gb, 8Gb) , but I'm not really noticing it in the 3dCAD stuff I typically work in, or anything else, for that matter...

Empirically, I've noticed that (since the latest updtate), I can barely bring myself to open Xara, as I know the frustration I'm likely to get from it's molassesesque new demeanour. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Should I seek other culprits? I can't believe it - Illustrator was actually faster for me on a recent job. Maybe I need to try a re-install?

But I'd be very interested to hear if anyone else is experiencing the same thing...before I go about reinstalling, etc.

thanks.
