Ummm... Sorry, but I'm not giving my email address to a file sharing site. You can upload it directly to this post if you zip it, and it's under 1 mb. Also, save it as a .ma.

His problem wasn't with the load times, but with an apparent lag when he switches from wireframe mode to shaded.

Out of curiosity. Which viewport rendering engine are you using? Default, high quality or Viewport 2. Straight shaded or texture shaded?

There's no lag when switching from wires to shaded for me. It's pretty much instant.

When I opened in 2009, there was an error reading the file (normal if it was created later), and no shaders were applied, but after I applied one of the shaders, there was no problem switching b/w wires and shaded.
