Push 2 lags when loading a project

[alex.buga]

Am I the only one who has to wait like 4-5 seconds or more until Push 2 initializes?
Every time I open Live or a new project it lags a lot. Also when loading waveforms on screen while switching between pads it lags a little. Might be the cable ?

Here also a long waiting time after loading a project or start a new project...

Same here it is no where near as immediate as old push!

4-5 seconds is not really that long, you save more time than that during the first few minutes of using the Push 2 with Live. I am almost certain it has to do with the display. It also affects other things, the script takes much longer to initialize for instance (tested with M4L devices).
Not really a big deal, IMO.

Yup, got a reply from tech support. It's normal due to the high data transfer between Push and Live.
Oh well, I'll just have to deal with it. It's too awesome

this is not strictly true... the time to send the data to the LCD is < 5ms.
I suspect, what is taking the time, is Live now sends a lot of state and model information to the process (Push2DisplayProcess) which communicates with the Push 2, using json. all this encoding/decoding is probably taking a long time, and its only when this is finally 'resolved' that it can then send the first image to the Push.
Hopefully in a later release they may be able to optimise this a bit.

(The push 1 by comparison, simply had to draw the current view, and was all done within the Ableton process)
