I have been receiving complaints from some of our users about their Revit models loading slowly. After hearing this complaint over and over I decided to investigate. I selected 4 workstations from our user pool with identical specs (same model, RAM, CPU, GPU, etc...) and identical OS image (Win7 x64). All four workstations are running Revit Architecture 2012 SP2. I then took a stopwatch and timed the load process of the same model (roughly 65MB plus 4 linked models under 30MB a piece). What I found was that 2 workstations took about 50 seconds to load the models while the other 2 took around 120 seconds.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any setting or options that can fix this?
