Me too, I've installed the EA 9 Corporate two days ago, and I find all the interaction with the UI extremely slow, after having used EA 7.5 with pleasure for more than a year.
E.g., it takes 4-5 seconds to open a diagram on double-click from the project browser. More than 6 seconds to close UNchanged diagram. Using ctrl-up/down/etc. to move a class on the diagram also takes ages - one up/down/etc. result is rendered with more than 1 second delay. Not to talk about grouping several classes and trying to move them left/right/up/down.
My sad conclusion is that this version is far away from usable, and I'll have to spend several hours a day with it...
In compatibility tab of the ea.exe, everything is unchecked, as somebody mentioned above.
Any hint on how to bring back the old good snappy UI?
I was also hoping that the speed of some other lengthy operations would be improved after 2 years. For a model with no specials (~1350 classes, ~5300 attributes, ~1000 associations, ~60 dependencies, ~350 diagrams):
- opening the model in .eap file on local disk takes 7-8 seconds
- comparing baselines takes several minutes, even with only a couple of changes
- exporting XMI 1.1 takes 1min 25sec
- Java API is still terribly slow (I bet it's the same for C# API), no improvement in the implementation of chatty SQL queries at all...
