I'm a little surprised you are getting one second updates, I would have expected it to be worse. If you clik and hold the cursor in the preview window, you can zoom, pan and rotate the view. I think that is the worst case situation. Also, the more complicated the part program, the more primitives are in the window, which slows it down. > PS.
