LC on Windows - slow for others or just me?

[Ralph DiMola]

I have not reported it. I wasn't sure that my setup (VMs/bloated Adobe
Products...) was causing it. It's time to open a QCC report on this. Do you
want to report it or should I?

Yes. ;)

I haven't found any one thing that's particularly slow.  Or more accurately,
I haven't found one thing that feels at all as performant as on Mac or
Linux.

Scrolling the Script Editor, typing in any field, populating fields from a
DB, waiting for the Project Browser to update - pretty much the whole
workflow of my day in LC on Win is painful, compared to the easy breezy
experience I get on Linux and Mac.

Is there a bug report on this?  Is this something the team is working on?

Does the IDE staff spend at least some of their time each week working in
Windows on iron?

With an 85% desktop share, it seems worth whatever inconveniences keep them
mostly on Macs.

Just one full day on Windows each week would be so illuminating, these lags
wouldn't survive long.
