I see everyone using La Femme and I have even bought several items for her. She seems to take forever to load and anything that I use concerning her(poses, characters, clothing) in fact my whole Poser 11 pro slows to a snail's pace. It acts the same way no matter which of my computers I use ( iMac, MacBook Pro) both have decent graphic cards( on nVidia and the other Radeon), and 32 gb ram with really strong cpus. I have the latest update for poser and no other figures besides LaFemme have this problem. I would love to use my laFemme content but have yet to get satisfactory results, I really like what I have seen others have done. The clothes that I can get to load in won't fit if I apply any character besides the base. So is anyone else having these problems and are there any suggestions as to how to improve upon these problems?

I'll ask the question, because it's caught me out before, and definitely can affect Poser performance. On the drive where you're storing your Poser runtimes, how much space to you have free? If that ever gets below the amount of physical RAM in your system (I also have 32GB RAM in my mid-2011 27" iMac), then Poser can start thrashing the swap space, which is automatically pre-allocated by the OS on your drive somewhere. This could be the boot drive (usually) be can be altered to go elsewhere.

I've upgraded my iMac from the 250GB SSD + 2TB HDD to a 1TB SSD & the existing HDD. I now never have any problems with insufficient space on the boot SSD, but if I ever download too much without purging the excess from my downloads folder, which lives on the HDD, and its free space gets below 32GB, I start to see slowdowns in Poser.

This may not be your problem, but it's caught me out a few times, and every time I make more free space on the drive, Poser performance jumps back up again. I typically have scenes with 40+ figures loaded and reasonably often have to force quit other applications to keep poser going until I can save the scene.

The only time I experienced this with La Femme was when trying to use the initial version of June Hair. The original subD setting was at 3 and it was just too much for my computer. June Hair has since been updated, but if you didn't re-download and are still using the original version is may be behind the issue you are experiencing.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the input Well, my runtimes are on a ssd and it still has 112 gb free space. And I don't think I even have June hair. This is all affecting every item made for laFemme. I will check the sub d settings for everything and see if that is a problem. But that still wouldn't explain why I can't get any of the clothes to fit on any but the base figure.

It sounds to me like SubD is set wrong on La Femme herself. Check the SubD Settings on La Femme, they should be Preview 1, Render 2
