SOPC Builder too slow

Do you have any idea why SOPC GUI is so slow? With a larger system it is necessary to wait for any change and modification of components - if I am changing port direction of 20 ports it takes tooooo long, the same just for locking base addresses, renaming components etc...it's really bothering.

Is SOPC builder written in JAVA that makes it so slow? Do you have the same problem?

    Yes, P4 3GHz with 1GB RAM isn&#39;t very up-to-date config... :-)

    Another thing: why isn&#39;t it possible to do one operation on group of components (locking of base address...) at the same time? I can easily mark 5 peripherals, but only the first one gets locked...the speed of SOPC builder GUI really really SUCKS!

    I guess it depends on the drawing of the bus lines on the left of the components... because it really takes a lot of times to update, especially when there are more than 4 CPUs...

    Had the same - and same PC-Configruation. Turned out that the McAfee VirusScan (Enterprise 8.0.0) has a problem with java files. We excluded the "Altera" folder from scanning and everything worked much faster - even the Eclipse IDE runs much faster.
