I do have it enabled in the settings. It seems that it always takes about the same time to load upon first compilation. After closing the RTL viewer, it will reopen quickly. But each new time the design is compiled, it takes considerable time for the RTL viewer to load. It seems that the enabling the preprocessor setting has really no effect.

Hi @James_B

It also depend on the design complexity that you have, it may still takes a considerable time to open the RTL viewer even with the setting enable.

Do you have an estimation time how long it takes to open the RTL viewer? both in enable/disable the feature. Try to recompile the design each time you turn on/off the setting.
