If I've drawn a segment of ductwork/piping, and Revit is waiting for me to enter the end point of the next segment, any movement of the mouse causes Revit to "think" for about 2 seconds before is shows me what angle and length the new segment will have.

I know 2 seconds doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm often hovering the mouse around a bunch of different locations before I click, and it's incredibly frustrating to have it pause every time I move the mouse.

What's interesting is that it does not do this on the first segment.  If I enter the starting point of a new duct, and Revit is waiting for me to enter the end point, I can move the mouse around with no lag at all.  It only gets laggy after I give it the end point of the first segment.  This makes me think that Revit is trying to figure out what fitting to use every time I move the mouse.  I'd much rather it do that after I've clicked the mouse.

Does anyone else have this problem?  Know a way to improve it?
