One of the key fixes in SR4 is the fix for displacement. Personally, I couldn't cope without it. Until you have SR4, displacement mapping is useless since the shadows go the wrong way. According to CL, you can avoid the slow down by uninstalling Poser and then doing a fresh install and patching with the SR4 patch without using any of the other patches in between. I've tried it and it does work. Loading is still slow, but nowhere near as bad.
