Short description of error
- When creating a complex GreasePencil object with many points/layers/frames, all mouse inputs are delayed (e.g. unable to rename layers, drawing unresponsiveness), without a way to free up resources.
- Hiding layers, disabling modifiers, locking layers, or choosing more economical viewport display, doesn't free up system resources (until the large layers are deleted).
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Draw enough to create 50,000 points on Frame-1. Duplicate Frame-1 to Frame-240. Interpolate Sequence. (4million total points is the limit for my computer for this to take effect).
- Result: Double-clicking layer to rename doesn't work, but triple-clicking works. And drawing new strokes has ~1second delay.
Additionally, if you also want to make a normal 24fps playback drop to ~5fps, add a Noise Modifier and enable Fake User. (Maybe this should be a separate bug report?)
