Quote - This is what Wim had to say about the problem with slowness of genesis in poser:-

 

"

There seems to be a bug in which the importer redoes all the morph transfer for each item every time you add a new one. So when you load 6 genesis items with 2 pieces of clothing and hair, the last item will take more than 10 minutes to load. But I think this bug is being addressed. If that bug is gone, the overhead will (probably) acceptable to me

Posing the figure does not seem to be slower as with other figures"

Yes... this is what I've noticed.

I suspect some of the DSON Importer processes (e.g. the morph transfer) are meant to be multi-threaded (and will be in DS4.5) but are ending up single-threaded in Poser... probably due to that python / C++ interaction. Hopefully they'll be able to fix this. I had got wind somewhere there was some to-ing and fro-ing between Daz and SM going on.

I'm sure SM are committed to supporting their plugin API, and making it work well in general, for plugin makers... even if their current working relationship with Daz is just on those terms. I have no idea about the level of cooperation that is going on of course...

...I'm sure this sort of improvement, if indeed it is needed here, will benefit Paulo's Reality Studio for Poser too, for one thing.

I've turned off the DSON Importer progress windows, in the preferences too, at present... and that helped a little with the speed too, I think.
