Scrubbing timeline with APEX char in scene very slow July 27, 2026, 3:59 a.m.
I will do so, no problem.

Hi Edward
Thank you for the suggestion: It makes a world of difference!
New UI - scrubbing does somewhere between 2 and 8 fps (very choppy)
Old UI - scrubbing strays above a very decent 20 fps. Completely acceptable.
For now I will stick to the old one, already missing the freshness of the new. Is this something which will be looked into in further updates? Is it handy if I file it at sidefx as a potential bug?

Hi Warren
I made a gif in which it should be more visible.
The display rate marker clocks 24 fps when playing. Second half of the gif is me scrubbing (cache off, the way you suggested). You can see the frame-rate dropping big-time, as well as the time marker having difficulty catching up with my mouse pointer.
I can reproduce this with test-character Electra, same performance issues.
I have one of the first threadrippers, so CPU is a bit outdated. GPU and RAM though are solid (GTX3090, 128GB RAM).
When I switch off 'use control xray' the performance gets a little bit better. Other options do not seam to make much difference
