VRay bitmap inside gradients makes viewport crawl

[YoyoBoy]

When you put VRayBitmaps into Max Gradient Ramp Flags, it causes the viewport to become incredibly slow. Scrolling through an animation is horrible. This is not a problem with the standard Max bitmap, or the OSL one. It's quite a bit better in Max 2026, but still not smooth at all, like it is with the others.

Oh weird. Now the other options are behaving just as badly for me. They were totally smooth a few minutes ago. Anyone know what's going on?

Does this happen on a fresh scene, because I don't notice any slowdown? Mind if you attach/send the scene in question?
