I guess I should have done more research before jumping. I just remembered how everyone was raving about it being faster.

Here the thing, my file sizes have jumped from 25mb to 90, to now even 160!!! without me adding anything to the scence other than a null dummy and further refining weights and hiding different portions of the model.

I'm getting "run out of memory" with it now.

So, since I can't "downgrade" my files. What can I do to max 9 to keep it from going insane with the file saving?
It takes it like 1:30 minute to save where before maybe 5 seconds.

Yes, I only have 1gb of mem. Still, this is insane what its doing compared to previous versions. I don't want to spend the money for more memory as this system is obsolete and regular old school ddr 3200 is now a commodity item $120 for lower end/higher latency basically to add another gig. $120 that can be saved for a new system next year.
