So for those who have been having trouble with component selection lag in Maya 2011 SP1, Windows 7 64, the solution I just discovered today was related to the anti virus protection software(mentioned in a previous post). I had to add an exception in the anti virus software settings exclude the FLEXnet Licencing Service 64. For some reason this was causing all the compent selection lag in the maya viewport.
Well if any one is still using Maya 2011 and the problem persists, then do one thing:-

Download and Install
froTools : froTools 2.3
lcRetopo : Leocov’s lcRetopo script
For installing this script you need to put the content of the folder “froRetopo” inside your maya folder.
(Ex : “My Documents\maya\2011-x64\”)
Write the command “froRetopo2″ in the MEL command line and press enter, or make a shelf button which call the command “froRetopo2″.
A new entry gets added on the side area.
Enjoy..work faster (y)
