Slower response times in HL V8.8b #832?

[Coventry]

I downloaded and installed V8.8 of Hero Lab this evening, and moving around feels a lot slower than the previous release did.

For example, when creating a new Pathfinder character, just clicking the up arrow to change the starting level from 1 to 2 take almost 3 second to update the user interface. Clicking 11 times to take a new character from 1 to 12 takes nearly 20 seconds to register in the user interface.

Is this a side effect of the code changes in V8.8b on an old/slow machine like mine, or is this a situation where I need to uninstall and reinstall Hero Labs?
