Hi,
>> It seems silly that a function like that has to be turned off in order to speed things up
No really, if you check your car and you begin uninstalling some not primary necessary things (back seats, air conditioner, ...) your car will get lighter and lighter and so it will use less fuel.
So that's also a way to remove some nice things to speed the car up. 😉
And the way software development works is always built what newest pc's can run. If you have either a slower pc or you have a lot of data in your DWG you have the option to turn off some options needing much power.
And I would not see the graphics card the primary problem for ROLLOVERTIPS, it's just the processor power, the memory amount and speed and at least the amout of data on your screen. My estimation to this switch: more than 50% of the users working daily with AutoCAD have this options turned off (or don't know it).

I understand your point. I guess I didn't realize that the option was very resource intensive.
