Studio 2017 SR1 is too slow, and shows unacceptable lag time even with new features disable. Fix it.

Since I've installed SR1 Studio has become unacceptably slow: yesterday I was editing a translation project, and I measured the lag it consistently displayed. I measure it over 100 segments, and the lag time varied between 1 second and 18 seconds, with an average of 6 seconds.

This is completely unacceptable. 

Support has seen this on my computer, but they claim that since they cannot reproduce it, they cannot log it as an issue. They have suggested that I disable all the upLift and match repair features (done, with little effect -- and anyway, what's the point of new features if you cannot use them?), and also that i uninstall 2017 with SR1 and re-install the older version (which, I think is probably what I'm going to do next, but, again, what's the point of new upgrades if then the only thing to do is to uninstall them?).

What I have seen is that sat this point I'm much faster using a workflow that involves creating the project in Studio, then use memoQ to translate the sdxliff file, and finally finalize it in Studio. Since I doubt that a process which involves using memoQ is really what SDL intends, I believe that the programmers should get busy making the program work at an acceptable speed.

BTW, what I notice is that the lag time may be related to the hard drive

    I moved your idea into the forum because it's not really an idea... even though it would be a good idea to find a solution for your problem!

    What kind of hard drive do you have?  SSD is always going to give you the best performance results but if you didn't have this problem before then it seems unlikely your hard drive is to blame unless it coincidentally started to fail.

    We released CU07 today which had quite a few fixes to problem we have seen reported since SR1.  Have you installed this and do you still have the same issues?
