Thank you for the report. We did make some changes to improve rendering performance but it might have come at a larger memory cost than we thought. Are you able to share any of the big scenes so we can take a look? Do you notice any performance difference when navigating the scene between the 2 versions?

Sorry, cannot.

Not really. Perhaps, newer one have more lags during abrupt moves of camera.

I want to offer a few probable solutions:
1. Setting or menu mode "Text low memory mode." Everything works as in previous versions, but with re-caching of fonts every few minutes. And with possibility to re-caching them manually, by menu button.
2. Alternative - possibility to mark text which PureRef will not display and hash until they would be highlighted or clicked by user.
3. Implementation of unloadable tabs as suggested here - https://www.pureref.com/forum/read.php?3,4477
This allows to divide large canvases into text and non-text ones, where text one will be cached and de-cached according to the tab activation conditions. Some will be cashed constantly, some will be cleared from memory immediately after switch to other tab.
