I know all about Large Assembly mode, Lightweight mode, Speed Pack etc so my question is if I suppress all my mates and fixed the components in place if this will allow me to work with my assembly in a more productive manner rather than have to sit and wait for a command to finish to start another. I find my system is performing very slow although I am using Assembly light weight mode to open the assembly and all the files are local
I have an Precision M6600 with 16G of Memory and 1 TB HD.
Make a copy of your top level assembly and try it out for yourself. I suspect it may help a little, but not as much as you think. Hard to say without seeing your assembly.
Let us know how it works out for you.
Cheers,
Anna
