Hi,
I hadn´t  problems like that
I had scenes with about 5 000  to 16 000   spheres and could select them in
about 5 to 10 minutes. ( more than 8 000 objects i guess is the sonic
barrier from there it takes longer in an exponential way)
I discovered that operator staks slows things down and also membership to
groups seems taking longer to select

But if you have a more ore less plain scene than it

Sometimes it helped to eexport my objects as model and import them in a new
scene


Regards
holger
