Hey Tobi;
Have you built your surfaces yet? That's where I'm seeing the most time
during a regen or open, when you see the "Enumerating..." going on down
below the command line.
I've got about 300 Points, 18 Alignments, 130+ Parcels and 4 Surfaces in my
trial project, and it takes about 30-45 seconds to go through an Open.

I'm also getting a load of crashes.
