My pc is an Intel i5-13400, 32gb DDR5 6000mhz. And after just a few minutes using Effect House the program becomes so slow that it almost crashes. With each update Effect House gets slower and slower. Soon a NASA PC will be needed to run the program. Please improve the performance of the software before adding more features.
I agree, especially in recent days undo (CNTRL+Z) stops working after a while.
I hope a nice update for pormans issues will come soon.
I’ve reached that point, no response. I Prefer Version 4.00 Sir @Mingus
wait youre the crazy parking effects guy, right?? and you made them all with this heavy lag 
i shiver at the thought of anything 3D or more than 4 cameras / 10 layers cus EH gets lag stuck literally every 3 frames

It’s tough now to get anything working. My best practices are: as soon as you can break down your logic into subgraphs and work from there.
Also you could set a boolean variable at the beginning of your logic and only when it is true EH may execute the rest of the logic. It saves endless of unnecessary cycles. Also disabling the camera helps a bit.
I cant even get a blank project working efficiently. Great tips, just wish i could use them.
I saw complaints about performance from a really long time ago, so my hopes are low its addressed 
hopefully…

If you try to add nodes is the search also super slow?

Everything is slow in the effect house. Even with a good PC.

This is an issue I am experiencing using EH on Windows. Just today, while working on a project, I hit CTRL + S to save, and EH immediately starts freaking out and lagging as if it were running on a potato suddenly 
Even before saving, like other users, typing to search, or typing anything in EH requires immense patience. Type like sloth or don’t bother. It gets pretty frustrating.
Connecting nodes is quite a pain too, sometimes it won’t recognize it’s been dropped on a nodes input, so you have to do it a few times to make it connect.
I enjoy using EH, it’s fun making effects. But it’s like trying to fight a loosing battle. I do hope performance is fixed in the very near future, or at least addressed.

The lack of response from EH doesnt give me high hopes. Youd think a bug like this would be pretty high priority.

I can not believe. An EH update came out and instead of improving performance, it made it worse! I love working with EH, but it runs so slow on my PC that it’s almost impossible to work.
This is the most poorly optimized software on the planet. It’s a shame that the team prioritizes new features before improving performance.

I made a project with only 70 cubes (1056 triangles).
Visual Scripting is empty.
Effect House run very slow.
PC: i5-1340, 32bg ddr5, RTX4070, windows 11

I’ve noticed that it’s even slower in 4.4. not sure what performance things they did but overall it seems it’s slower and the previous lag issue are still there
