So I decided to take the risk of not updating my Poser Pro 11.1. I had a permanent license, so I decided to risk it. I was fully aware that it might crap out at any time as numerous people have said on this very forum. I did not take any steps to block it on my firewall. I did that intentionally, as an experiment. Not too surprisingly, that experiment has failed.

On Saturday, my Poser happened to crash and it prompted me that my "trial period" was over. I already had the files all downloaded, so I did the update. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it all went perfectly smoothly.

However, I then noticed that renders were much, much slower. I use Superfly exclusively. I do mostly GPU rendering, but some CPU rendering. I use a GTX 1080 Ti. I went to the forums to do some reading, and I haven't really found anybody saying the same thing. But I did find that there have been a couple of updates since 11.2 was released.

Thinking that might be the issue, I downloaded the latest update and installed it. That seemed to mostly fix it, though rendering was clearly very different now. The progress bar was different and just not rendering the same way. I took a day to play with it, and thought I had new render settings figured out that would give a similar result over a similar amount of time. I let that experiment run for most of last night, and found that the final result was not acceptable even though the render time was only marginally longer.

So as another experiment, I used my old render settings for a final quality render and set it to process overnight. In Poser 11.1, that render would have been finished in roughly 6 hours - long before I woke up. Right now, 3 hours after getting out of bed, that render isn't even 1/3 done.

This means that rendering in Superfly, for me, is taking at least three times longer than previously. Now before we get into details like, "What are your rendering settings?" Or the rest of my machine hardware configuration, I just want to know if anybody else has experienced this?

So everybody, have you found that Superfly in 11.2 is significantly slower? Like more than three times slower?

P.s. I am running the latest version of Windows 10, with all updates, and the latest NVidia drivers for my card.
