Hey Danio,

looks like SMT OFF does make my 3dsMax experience smoother but I don't have patience to stopwatch it somewhat more scientifically :- )

Interesting!  I should have tried some CPU, single threaded modifiers rather than just file opening and max opening times.  GrowFX was way faster years ago when I tried with SMT off.

I mainly tested the concurrent use of IR and Material Editor. My main culprit of laggy workflow.

Yeah it's miserable.  I'm always like 4 clicks ahead and drumming my fingers and getting agitated.  I genuinely think my life inside and outside work would be better if I used less laggy software, but...

Anyway, I'll try SMT off again.  Thanks for the tip.
