Properties have nothing to do with plug-ins. So why
Clone Properties -> fast
Clone Plug-ins -> fast
Clone Properties&Plug-ins -> long ?
Because there is bug.
Do it yourself, it takes 5 minutes, and you will see.

Empty project, 1 audio track with 10 instances of "BREVERB Sonar", default preset.

Just out of curiosity, from a production standpoint why would you want 10 instances of Breverb SONAR?

Testing. It's valid to do it this way.
Production of course you would go and catch a bus.
Are you deflecting again

"My CPU is old Q6600, one core is constantly loaded through this time of cloning."
So Craig now try it with your CPU throttled to 10% and compare steps on #11 :).
 
To OP try temporarily turn off antivirus. Memory might be fact factor as well as free hard drive space. Please state it.
Also when was the last time you did a defrag and ran chkdsk /R?
 
BTW have not tried it myself yet.
 

Ah another thing, there is a performance  issue with the update which can take up CPU cycles.
Disable in Sonar preferences...  Allow Arm Changes During Playback/Record.

Ok, it is slow.
Now try it with "Clone Properties" off.
Try clone 10 repetitions with and without it.
In theory in must not make any difference.

You think the video shows that it's slow? Looks pretty fast to me.

I agree. My own tests support this view.

Yes, it is slow. You see this rotating pointer? It is 2 seconds in your case.
And it could be much more in other cases.
If you disable "Clone Properties" while cloning you will not see it.
2 seconds vs 0 seconds is pretty slow.

I'm sorry, could you tell more please, what your tests have shown up?
