Upgrading from Revit 2016
Monitor a system during these long-running processes to get a better idea of where the bottleneck is.
Check CPU use (individual cores, NOT average of all) - is it pegged on one processor, or ticking up and down? Does it stop partway and then resume? Check RAM use - is it maxed out, or within acceptable bounds?
Check network activity - are you trying to pull data from a remote location through a thin pipe? Think Superman trying to drink a milkshake through a juicebox straw - doesn't matter how hard he pulls on it, there's only so much that can travel through that narrow pipe at once. You may need some specific tools to monitor this. Or pull as much local as possible and then monitor.
Check anti-virus/anti-malware activity - is your system scanning everything, every time, all the time? Check settings for exceptions. Maybe even turn it off entirely, for testing purposes only.
Check your system temp folders, both Windows and program. Clean them up, empty the garbage as well. Make sure you have a good amount of space left on your system drive.
You'll need to download GPU monitor tools to see if that's the limitation, but I doubt it. Keep that option last.
