I made this part (granted, simple one!) using LDPE on a puny old XP laptop with a 1.6 GHz Core Duo processor / 1Gb Ram. Starting LDPE on this machine takes a hell of a time, but after that it runs rather smoothly!
Even with my machine from hell (i7 3770k / 16GB RAM / 2x GTX 1080 SLI / 512GB+480GB SSD) it takes forever (40s) to start LDPE on my Win XP Virtual Machine...
I made this much more complex part http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg.../24121.dat on the same setup, and as expected I experienced slow downs as the part built up in complexity. Especially on Undo and save part. I guess the main problem is the cramped Ram space?
