V9.0 elevation re-build time

[Barry Kelly]

Has anyone noticed that the time taken to re-biuld an elevation in V9.0 compared to V8.1 has increased?
Or is it just me?

I have tried on two separate machines.
My machine (P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB ram, Nvidia FX5600 (256MB))
Elevation 1 takes 1 min 19 sec in V81 and 1 min 37 sec in V90
Elevation 2 takes 0 min 37 sec in V81 and 0 min 44 sec in V90

Tried it also on a P4 3Ghz with 2GB ram with Nvidia FX5700 (256MB)
Elevation 1 takes 1 min 01 sec in V81 and 1 min 19 sec in V90
Elevation 2 takes 0 min 30 sec in V81 and 0 min 38 sec in V90

So it seems that V90 is about 20% - 30% slower than V81
I have opened exactly the same PLN file in both versions and have the same settings regarding showing the shadows and hatching.

They are fairly complex elevations with shadows, hatching and plenty of tubular balustrades and awning supports so I know they will take a little while to generate - JPG attached.
But according to the promotional hype - V90 is can be more than twice as fast generating sections/elevations.
Obviously not in my case.
Can anyone help with any ideas for different settings I can try?
Thanks,
Barry.
