RE: Visio Pro. 2002 SP2 SLOW

\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs26 What kind of drawing is it - based on what template or solution? If the drawing is based on a solution such as Database Modeling, try creating a simple flowchart and compare.
\par What version of Visio was it created in? Try creating a new blank drawing, what is the performance on save?
\par Where is the file being saved to/opened from? If it is saved on a network location, compare when saving it to a local folder on the computer.
\par
\par Finally - is this a drawing which has been around since previous Visio versions? I'm wondering if there is some old 'baggage' riding around in the drawings that you may be able to clear out.
\par
\par One thing to try is to 'Round trip' the drawing from binary (.VSD) to xml (.VDX) and back. Take one of your drawings and try the following steps. Be sure to close Visio between the different save actions, to clear the cached memory.
\par
\par 1. Launch Visio, open the drawing in question.
\par 2. Create a new drawing using Save As to xml format (*.VDX)
\par 3. Close Visio.
\par 4. Launch Visio, open the drawing created in step 2.
\par 5. Create a new drawing using Save As to binary format (*.VSD)
\par 6. Close Visio.
\par 7. Launch Visio, open the drawing created in step 5.
\par 8. Test for performance within Visio, and saving.
\par
\par I'll be curious to see if any of those ideas give you any relief. Intrinsically, Visio saves should be quick, subject to the size of the file and any add-in solution code that may be running.

RE: Visio Pro. 2002 SP2 SLOW
I am experiencing the same or very similar problem. Visio 2002 SP2 running
on XP with a 2Gb RAM 2GHz Athlon 64. An example: Create a new blank file.
Add a rectangle. Save the file. The save takes about 8 or 9 minutes. Visio
consumes 40-95% of the CPU time and about 35-40 Mb memory. No other
applications running. Old files or newly saved files can be edited and save
very fast. Pasting a file into Word, etc. is very slow. The files are saved
and loaded from the local hard disk.
