Suddenly slow dForce ... solved, I think

I was just about to start a post here seeking help about sudden and inexplicable dForce performance issues when I stumbled across what appears to be the problem. At some point in random new-product testing recently, it would seem that something set Frames Per Second (FPS) Multiplier to 8 and Collision Mode to Best. I've occasionally changed Collision mode intentionally but had never changed the other setting. That combination made it take forever - like 20+ minutes - to dForce a simple outfit or hair and was effectively making it impossible to test anything. Has anyone run into this happening? 

Now that it's on my radar to check, if I see this sort of thing again I'll look there before jumping to conclusions, but I've just spent a whole evening freaking out, going from assuming the product being tested was a dud, to updating Nvidia drivers, to wondering if I'd broken something. I'm glad I didn't pick today to update from 4.21 to 4.22 ...
