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?

Well, in November it'll be a year after thread started. Is MICROSOFT going to do something?
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.
DOESN'T help, if not even worse.
Well, in November it'll be a year after thread started. Is MICROSOFT going to do something? We did buy your product and want support for it! Or we shouldn't spend money any more on this buggy tool?
I am speaking up to say I am also experiencing extreme slowness when trying to zoom in and zoom out. Parts of the visio page don't load and takes several seconds to render.
Another thread dealing with this same issue. When can we expect a fix? This has been outstanding for 11 months.
I completely agree that the performace of MS Visio 2013 is horrible. I have 3 different machines and the one with Visio 2010 (Dell E6400 4Gb ram Core 2 Duo Win 7 32 bit) is able to open the same Diagram and show no signs of lag or freezing. As soon as I go back to my i7, 16Gb RAM, 256 SSD Win 7 64 bit machine the Diagram pretty much kills my computer. Only reason i keep 2013 because is lets me see the thumbnails of the visio diagram while I search for diagrams in explorer. I have tons of diagrams and searching with 2010 installed wont let you view thumb nail of the diagram. This means I have to open each one which can take a while to load.
PLEASE CREATE A HOTFIX.. For the LOVE OF GOD!!!!!
I agree! VISIO 2013 is almost too slow and unresponsive to use. It brings my i7-2860QM CPU with 32 GB of RAM to its knees. It seems like a memory issue as very little ever gets used. I have Win-8 64-bit.
