Re: Expressions and saving

[Andy Jones <andy(at)thefront.com>]

We'll get something to you, Halfdan.  We just have to finish the project 
first.  One long weekend later, we're not using any expressions on our 
materials anymore, so it's not that pressing.  I think it's possible 
that the slowness we noticed is just with expressions on materials and 
might not affect expressions on other objects in the scene.  I don't 
really have time to do any testing right now.  Maybe in a week or so.
