Maya Very Slow When Opening Older Verison File
I have a file I created using Maya 2009. I put it in dropbox while i got my computer fixed. once i got my computer fixed i upgraded to Maya 2012. but now i downloaded and opened my file from dropbox and Maya is really slow. its still the same computer but i dont know if i need to change anything so it runs in Maya 2012 like it did when i created it in 2009.
thanks in advance
Edward

One of the big differences between 2012 and 2009 is the jump to Qt for the UI. It might be that.

If you're going to stick with 2012, I would HIGHLY recommend that you invest even 10% of what you paid for Maya in upgrading your machine.
Dude you don't even know the half of it. On the Mac, scrolling in the attribute editor is ridiculously slow, and the attribute editor has an annoying tendency to want to be on top of every application you have open at all times. I have NEVER used a Qt application that was bug-free.I hate QT! I deeply believe all the problems that I have started encountering since switching to Maya 2012 are all related to QT.

If you really want to check it out, attach the file here, and we can take a look at it. If it's slow on our machines, it's the file. If it's not, it's your machine. Just saying "the file is slow" isn't very helpful in debugging this issue. :/
