Visio 2013 VERY slow

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?

    I was theorizing that the animation might extend to actions like zooming and moving shapes. Apparently not. Oh well, it was worth a try.

    But effect related to this topic is not related on delayed responce while typing, it happens on zoom in/out and shapes move inside draw.

    Tried all of your suggested fixes via regedit and Performance Settings - nothing helped, still slow.

    I've switched back to 2010 and the performance is MUCH better.

    Absolutely same symptoms on different machines in any variations of x32 and x64 OS and Visio editions. This is not hardware or OS issue, the problem is definitely in Visio 2013 code.

    Microsoft, your coders did something wrong in Visio 2013 and it seems the issue is in pre-rendering.

    Hope to see soon hot-fix from you.

    Started another topic because didn't find this ome at that moment, if moderators can, these two can be merged.
