I upgraded to Visio 2013. I am using the standard detailed networking template. After adding a few items, Visio has gotten so slow its almost unusable. WWhen I move icons it takes 3-5 seconds to give me back control. ITS terrible. I have a Thinkpad T510 with a system score of 6.9's across the board and one 4.9, so I highly doubt its that. All other applications scream. I tried disabling hardware accelleration and updating my video driver which did nothing.
Like visio 2013, but sad the performance is so bad...any suggestions?

Or we shouldn't spend money any more on this buggy tool?
Point #1: Yes eventually, well Maybe someday
Point #2: YE$ Hitting them in the wallet seems to be the best (only?) way to get their attention.

2013-10-21T15:22:42+00:00 Visio 2013 x86 was super slow on a Dell Vostro machine running Windows 7 Professional x64. After a series of troubleshooting, I traced the problem to the accelerated graphics. Just disable the it. Here's how: Go to Visio Options > Advanced, scroll down you should see "Disable hardware graphics acceleration". Check the square box. This issue is most noticeably on machine with dual video chip set. See picture below:
