The Outliner is notorious for slowing operations down. It should _never_ be open, _unless_ you are specifically using it.

This would include:

- Inspecting group and component nesting.
- Selecting objects (especially hidden ones you can’t select in the model view.)
- Moving objects from one edit context to another (when it cannot be done easily in the model view.)

Close the Outliner or roll it up before intensive model operations.
