Alice 3 is very sluggish. You have to wait half a second for the camera control to light up when hovering over it. Clicking in the scene does not always sleet objects. Sometimes the whole scene does not update until you do something else. The “Help with Graphics Problems” features also reports that clicking in the scene is working sub optimally. The drivers are all up to date.

They run Unity with no problem, for example. What can I do to make Alice 3 usable? It’s going to take forever for the students to accomplish anything in this class. Is there anything we can do to improve responsiveness of the application?
