I've upgraded to MMa version 10.4.1 under MacOS 10.11.4 on a MBP Retina. We use Image3D
a lot in our work and it seems like it has gotten very very slow in this update. Indeed the whole MacOS UI will 'seize' (cursor disappears, machine is non-responsive) if I do things like change an expression that renders an Image3D
, leading to its 'deactivation' in the notebook.
In the past, I've been able to interactively rotate, plane-cut, etc things like this
Import["ExampleData/CTengine.tiff", "Image3D"]
pretty easily. It's not 'speedy' by any means, but certainly not as bad as I feel like it is now.
Has anyone else experienced this phenomena?
(NB- this is on a relatively 'clean' MacOS install, graphics card / energy saving set to use the nvidia card, etc.)
Edit -- I put a notebook with a very simple volume of 16^3 of a sphere, on Dropbox here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19616/painfulrotation.nb
This was very responsive in the past.
