Short description of error
Object with 15k polygons, empty modifier stack will create huge lag (can crush blender as well i guess) if you try to put Subdivision Modifier on it.
For same Blender scene object with 49k polygons will not create any really noticiable lag in same situation.
It will happen in both GPU Subdivision on or off.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Try to put Subdivision modifier into object next to the cube. It will create huge lag before (even if) it will finally apply and whole Blender window will response again.
additional info
The file was also tested on different PC with Linux Manjaro 64bit OS, GTX 1070 with same results. It create huge lag, make Blender window not responding, and after lag it finally apply the modifier.
