@boxy (boxy) posted a new topic, subject "Hair module 10.1". It read:

   Hello  
    I'm still finding navigation of the hair UI and hair material UI frustratingly slow. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't see any obvious answer to why is should be, the textures I'm using are 1024 max, yet when I click on ANY of the hair material and Hair object icons, tabs or fields it takes at least 5 seconds for each click or drag or typed value to register in the UI - count them;  
    Click. One little second and two little seconds and three little seconds and four little seconds and five little seconds…Change value  
    As you can imagine that gets extremely irritating and pretty much impossible to do any meaningful tweaking in a decent timeframe. I hope I'm just being stupid and doing something wrong but I can't imagine so…its pretty straight forward stuff I'm doing.  
    Appreciate any comments that might help  
    Cheers

    How many guides are oyu using? A huge number of guides will slow down display speed, especialy in animation if you use hair dynamics.

    Thanks for the reply Srek.  
    420 so far, seems pretty reasonable. Just thought, I do have the object in a hypernurbs - but then I want to be editing the hair on a smoothed object - maybe that is something to look into.

    do you have any texture paths over a network by chance?

    I've found that using Default & Default (medium & sphere) for the hair texture preview icon eliminates this annoying behavior.

    Thank you Kai, no its all on the HD - but wow, deljs has it. Hair material preview appears to be the culprit.  
    Thanks a mill
