It all depends on how silly you are with the settings. I only have UCAC3 enabled for FOV 0-2 (up to 2 deg) If you enable it for 3 (5 deg) there is a sharp slowdown. For 4 (10 deg) you could almost go make coffee.
Rather than accept the wait, I use Tycho2 for 3-4 and BSC5 for 5-10. I could use GSC-1.2 instead of Tycho2 but probably only for 3.
I'll screenshot the Catalog config pages. The FOV is along the bottom of the images. I have most of the catalogs, the biggest missing bit being DeepSky photos. These are from my Q6600 4GB ATI XT2950HD Linux box. The Windows laptop has the same catalogs.
What I don't understand is why the Linux version won't put asteroids on screen. The Windows one does.
