Building my scene seems to take a very long time (approx. 15 minutes)

Building my experience takes about 14:35 minutes. I'm not sure if this is abnormal but it seems to be, according to the info I can find about the subject.

It shows the "Building scene..." window practically the whole time which changes to "Uploading" a bit before finishing.

I think my experience is rather basic at the moment. A couple of walls with brick texture. bottom and top floors, a staircase, rounded railing and some rather simple objects. The stairs is the object with the most triangles (3234). I have 16 objects in total. No lights apart from the default scene light.

In Diagnostics the Rate is 100 mostly but sometimes jumps to 99 while moving arround in edit mode. Draws is 112 and Prisms 101K.

Global Illlumination Quality is set to "No processing".

This is my system info:

• OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
• Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3504 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
• RAM: 16 GB
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

Is this normal?

  It's possible with the new changes that it would only take longer the first time.

  I'd try to make an edit and see how long it then takes.

  Other than that the main thing you don't list is internet speeds, including ping time to server which can have a significant impact for people living in europe.

  Realistically what you list your scene should build in about 1-2 minutes tops

  So something is amiss

  Thanks for you reply Gindipple,

  I did an internet speedtest here: http://speedtest.telenet.be/. These are the results.

  Download: 192.5 Mbps
  Upload: 19.3 MbPs
  Ping: 8ms
  Jitter: 4ms

  I did a lot of builds already. I only measured it once to make this post but It always takes at least this long. When testing for this post I did two builds with only a minor edit in between.

  I had a rather large Standard + Emissive object which I removed for the test. With the Standard + Emissive object I think it even took a lot longer but I didn't measure it exactly.

  I found it by adding my objects one by one in a sandbox scene and building after every time I added an object.

  I made a very large plane. Just a square but very large to put over the default floor plane. Removing this plane reduced the build time to only 20 seconds.

  I added the plane before I learned I could change the color of the default plane.

  Thanks for confirming something was wrong.
