Question
What is it Doing?
Maybe I ought to wait until Friday, because it is really only out of
interest that I ask...
I have a couple of fairly large assembly drawings open on a pretty inferior
machine. When I change window from drawing 1 to drawing 2, the clock comes
up and I sit and wait while it does - what?
In the event, this morning, it crashed after 5 minutes, because it ran out
of memory, but that is neither here nor there. The question, I suppose,
boils down to:
Given that I have displayed each of the drawings already, what takes the
time when I switch between windows?
Surely it isn't regenerating anything, everything is already displayed. It's
busy doing something, lots of hard sums, because Task Manager shows 100% CPU
usage throughout. I just can't think what it is working out. Shouldn't it
just display either pretty picture more or less instantly, until I ask it to
do something clever, like move a note, or change zoom?
I know the reality is that I just have to wait, at least until I get a
half-decent machine, but I would feel less frustrated if I knew why I was
having to wait.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
