Wow, such a lot of great info - thanks everyone. Here's an
update.
Yesterday, I was working remotely. While my RH files are
local, our source control system (MS VSS) is at the office. So I
wondered if the way in which RH7 interacts with VSS was a
contributing factor. (To its credit, RH7 recognized as soon as I
opened my project that it was under source control and correctly
asked me if it could check out all the files, and did so. The
checkout wasn't any faster/slower than normal.)
That initial compile ended up taking 1 hour and 8 minutes! I
have NO idea why. But maybe the conversion (removal of kadov tags,
etc.) takes place then? Today, I came into the office so VSS is
down the hall, I'm on the LAN, etc. Opened RH7, made a couple minor
changes, and compiled. It took less than a minute!!!!
So whatever was going on yesterday, it's either resolved OR
it's something related to VSS and I'll re-encounter it the next
time I'm working remotely.
Now that I'm over the initial shock of the completely
different UI and things seem to be functioning better, I'm a MUCH
happier camper! I read the V7 info on Peter's site, took advantage
of a couple of the handy tutorials on the Adobe site (thanks for
the info and links, Peter), and I might even be PRODUCTIVE today!
