I've tried blender 248 on several machines over the past several months. My laptop, my home desk top (3.0 Ghz, 2Mg ram), even an apple iMac (2.4 Ghz quad core 4 Mb RAM) and I find the blender interface to be really slow.

When I click on buttons I have to wait between 5 and 10 seconds for anything to happen. It should be instantaneous. Example, if I want to move an object I click G (grab) and then move the mouse. 10 seconds later the object will eventually move to the desired location but in a slow and choppy manner.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a setting I must set to get Blender to react more like other programs?
