(...) Datsville is IMHO a HUGE model, with its 2Mb+ and several sub-models used multiple times. MLCAD is out of the question, but L3Lab is acceptable: 6.3-13 seconds, depending on zoom factor and other preferences. No problem with L3P, but I haven't (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)

Has anyone had experience with HUGE LDraw files or MPD files (thousands of parts)? What are the effects? Do they crash some programs, or make them unusably slow? Just curious. Thanks! -Tim (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
