Ok, now I'd love to know if other people are hitting some of these animation/rig performance issues. Some of these have been around for a while now in previous releases so I'd love to get other user's experience.

- viewport updates
very often what you see is not what you get with the viewport. Alembics suffer more from this but it's not just that format. Currently on Nvidia driver 375.66 on Ubuntu but I'm not sure we're seeing the benefit of that update just yet, anyone else seeing this?

- deleting keyframes and channel dependency updates
various bugs relating to deleting keyframes, using undo and so on. Ctrl Z has been deleting unrelated keyframes. Sometimes you can delete keyframes but the rig update in the viewport is incorrect. Anyone else experienced this? AGain it's rare but very annoying.

- freezing controllers - pose tool -channel references
This might be specifically linked to the pose tool in that it may not be traversing through the channel links cleanly and returning viewport handle interactivity. Often an animator will select a controller and drag it in the viewport and it will simply freeze. The user has to reselect it again to get it moving and then it's ok.

All of these issues are really hard to reproduce easily for bug reports so I'm quite curious to see if it's affecting other people on other platforms. We can build massively complex rigs really easily in Houdini but we need the animation experience to be flawless
