EV3 software on PC very slow

[IceAxe]

Hi, I'm new to these forums, and new to Lego mindstorms.

I'm finding the PC software to be *really* slow. It takes a second or two to respond to mouseclicks, and dragging bricks around on screen is a pain because it lags so much. I have a fairly powerful laptop with an intel core i7, 8GB, 64bit Windows 10, Nvdia Geforce graphics. Everything else flies on this PC

Is the software just really slow, or is there some configuration I can do?

I can at least tell you that that doesn't sound normal. It lagged on my i3, but certainly not on my i5 and i7.

I run the EV3 software on Win8 i5 laptop and it's okay until the programs start getting long. Then it can be unbearably unresponsive. It was better for me when I break up the program into several My Blocks
