A couple of our computers have long delays during certain interactions with WM, while other computers in the same area don't see the same problems.
For instance, when loading a drawing from WM to ME10, the drawing loads reasonably quickly, then both the load of the frame and the load of meta-data to populate the frame is delayed. The total load time from the click of the Confirm button to completion may take as much as 25 seconds, while on the next desk over it takes 3 seconds. This seems to be a progressive problem where the speed is fine at start up but degrades over time, and is renewed with a restart of WM.

Even more dramatic is a save from Annotator to WM which pretty consistently takes 75 seconds between telling Anno to save and being able to interact with WM.

We are using the same customization, and the same software. OSD v11.5, WM v11.61beta3, and ME10 v11.00b, on Win2000. The two computers that have this problem are identical (or nearly so).

We are experiencing similar problems. On large assembly models, the annotation can take as long as 5 minutes before the interaction with workmanager begins.
