Assigning shaders issue
But when ever I try to assign it to objects (quite low poly objects) it takes a very long time, longer with more objects at once and if I try to assign it to several objects at once maya crashes
what is causing this? Ive never had this problem before

One way you could get around this, it create a lambert, set it's color to zero, and map the out color of the ambient occlusion shader to either it's ambient color, or incandescence. I can't check at the moment, but what it should do, is mimic the surface shader.
Give it a go!
