I was fiddling around in Geometry Nodes and things started getting *really* slow... like 5 min from updating a node to seeing Blender refresh. Just too much geometry for it to crunch quickly.
I meant to disable a node that would speed things up by skipping a mesh subdivision, but accidentally made it apply to *all* the geometry instead of half... and now I've been sitting here for 15 min wondering if Blender is ever going to resurface. 😵
