Same prob here Snodge. When I saw the new release I thought "hey that sounds cool". But after firing it up I dropped from about 30-40fps to about 5-10fps, so much for cool.
Anyway, I just went into prefs and turned off the shadows and it's back to normal again.
Nice idea LL, but totally unusable. Maybe I'll try it again on a later release if they say they've fixed it.
