Bug Incredibly slow import

Keen to try out b11. I opened my b10 project in b11 about 8 hours ago. It’s now half way through “iteration 4” of the import procedure.

My project is big but not huge. It usually takes this long when I delete the library folder but not for an upgrade to the editor. Is 8 hours normal? I don’t know what’s a bug and what’s by design with Unity anymore. Any other app and I would have thrown my laptop out the window after an hour.

So my question is...

Is this process so slow because of a memory leak and should I hence force quit and relaunch the editor... or should I just keep on cursing for a while longer?

check editor.log if it shows any info what its currently doing.

i watched Unite video about this game, they said something like, import time was 2 days (before they optimized it)

 

Thanks @mgear. Useful video.

In my case though, the console seemed fine. It’s just that after a quick start, the import slowed and eventually took 1-3 seconds per asset (multiply that quite a few times and the frustration builds!). After waiting for another couple of hours and seeing no end in sight, I did a force quit and a restart. It then took a few seconds to finish the import. So there’s clearly some kind of memory leak or bug of some kind at the Unity end.
