Corona 5 Slower?

Is Corona 5 slower? Or is it just me? I thought it was supposed to be faster than previous version.

No.

Nope. Super fast and stable.
Great version.

I’m trying to work on my landscaping with FP and the VFb keeps locking up. I have to restart max every time.

Please try using the newest daily build. It has better Forest Pack support. https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000570015
Other than that, we are aware of some issues with Corona+Forest Pack, especially when using interactive rendering. We are discussing this with iToo.
