QERadiant = SLOW!!!

[draxi]

hi all, i got this problem, maybe the reason why i didnt manage to make the map done for the contest.. but, however, here's my problem:

I got myself a new computer, and everything is running so well( not like my old computer then), well, that is every thing except QERadiant. It is so damn slow!!!.. like, its almost 1 second ( atleas 0.5 second =/ ) of "lagg" from when i push the forward button until the camera moves...
and im running computer with 3,06 Ghz and with Pentium 4, and 512 MB RAM!! And with XP ofcourse!

could it be a XP kinda bug or?.. its so slow that i only map for like 5 mins, then im bored...
a new mapping program maybe would solve the problem, but im so in to QERadiant that i wont change if i dont have to!

got any ideas on how to solve it??

if you're running Windows, click the "Start" button and go to "Run". in there, type "msconfig" (without quotes) and a dialog with several tabs should open up. select the "Startup" tab and in there you can select/deselect which things you want to run upon booting Windows.

hope that helps.

Sk3l3tor, have you tried increasing the Camera-speed in: Edit->Prefences (?)

well. my cam is on fast!!!
and still, the problem isnt just for the camera... when i hit shift and click on a brush, it takes like almost 1 sec before it turns to red!
