Yeah something is definitely wrong there, I have the same concern (slow behavior in the materials room).  Has anybody reported this "officially"?

Just curious here. I've read at least three reports of overall slower display performance as compared to Poser Pro and Poser 7. Document display, that is, but this could tie into it, I imagine.

This concerns me considerably, because Poser has traditionally had far better display performance in OpenGL than every other 3D app out there, at least as far as moving high poly stuff around goes. I'd hate to think they've degraded it any.

How is your display speed with a large scene in OpenGL, with large textures and transparency maps?

I guess your question got snowed under by all the technical mambo jambo from the last few pages. This topic has drifted so far that It's almost time for me to check out.

When opening a scene for me it takes much longer for everything to show up in P8 then it does in Poser 7 Pro. Once everything is shown both behave about the same, but initializing OpenGL preview at the beginning a scene takes a lot longer, even up to 20 seconds or more for a large scene. Small scene no difference, but large scenes definitely slower.
