Plug ins slow to delete

[Green Needle]

I have noticed recently that it takes a long time for a plug in to delete, is that normal?

Seems new to recent updates to me.

It depends on the plugin.

Plugins with a lot of automatable parameters and/or use a lot of memory will take longer.

There are essentially 2 things that happen when a plugin is removed:

1. Any automated parameters are disconnected
2. Cakewalk asks the plugin to unload itself

However.. a copy of all the automated connected that were mapped, along with a copy of the plugin's state (essentially a temporary preset) is put on the undo stack.  That way, when you undo the delete, the plugin is restored to how it was.

If there are a lot of automation parameters, or the plugin takes up a lot of memory, then it'll be slower. 

This behaviour isn't new to this release.

It seems to be the same speed for all plugins. Here is a vid, is this normal speed?

I've also noticed that it takes the same time to delete a large FX chain in a bin as it does a single plugin.
