Pablo, you definitely have some legitimate complaints, the "update-while-typing" issue is one that certainly annoys me as well and I agree it should be fixed. I'll make sure there's a bug filed for it (I think there is but that fixing it is for some reason not as trivial as you might think). However I don't encounter the UI speed issues you have and with a machine as fast as your AMD FX machine (which I assume is your primary), I wouldn't expect such issues... However you *are* dealing with some very large populations and I wonder if any other software would handle them any better really. You mention you've never tried populating 50 million instances in e.g. Lightwave (or Modo, presumably), so why not try for comparison and to set your expectations realistically?
