I have seen and heard of people having this problem. Not sure if it is only 2010 versions or not, but after working with Revit MEP 2010 on a brand new, very well appointed computer for a couple of weeks there was a serious lag in Revit developed. For example, I would select an object and it would take at least a second for the ribbon to change to the proper options. It was like working under water. Drove me nuts. I called several tech support options that we have and we tried all the things like turning hardware acceleration on or off and all sorts of other video related options. We ran tru all the checks of my computer settings and nothing made any difference.

 So, I doubled the ram to 8 gigs (64-bit Windows) which made no difference at all. The I upgraded the video card and power supply and that made absolutely no difference either. Maddening and getting expensive.One evening I decided to defrag the computer before Ileft the office and when I came in the next day Revit was as perky as when it was brand new.

I think that because Revit files are comprised of so many different small files, and as you work and your project file gets larger it is not possible for these files to be returned to their original locations and they become scattered all over your hard drive. (I am definitely not a techie kind of guy, so this is only my interpretation of what is going on.)

I now defrag once a week or sooner if the lag starts creeping in.

By the way, I run Revit arch and MEP at home on a Windows 7 32bit 4 gig (I know it only sees 3 of it) machine and it runs just about the same as it does at work with my whizbang 64bit 8 gig setup.
