I'd suggest spending some time running Rev without your whole 
development environment open... remove all the plugins, externals, 
extra libraries, etc. and run Rev as "raw" as you can and see if you 
still get the freezes. If not, carefully add things in, one at a time, 
and work for a while, then if you don't freeze, add the next thing in, 
etc. You should be able to find the problematic item this way.
