scene subsets?

alan bard newcomer

I use scene subsets all the time. 
For characters, for vehicles that've rigged with a character.
---
and for building parts and even more 
when I'm building a model of a building eventually the scene gets loaded with unused parts, like 3 objects that were exported as one to bring back in.
Daz does not like to delete things. I've had it take an hour to delete an item that took 20 seconds to load. 
So lots of times I take the good part of my scene and save it as a subset so I can start with a streamlined version of it. 
---
anyhow, I ran a test  the buildings took 6:45 to save as a subset.. 1:30 to save as a scene
--
the cubes..  takes 5 secs to save a scene with a cube, 1:30 to save as a scenesubset .. with three cubes (two hidden) it jumps to 3 minutes.
====
anything I want to save a scene subset will be now saved as a scene 
unfortunately, I'll still have to the subset route to get rid of stuff in a scene. 
---
why am I carping? I have at least 500 subsets that I've done over the years 
Actually that's probably wrong .. the folder I keep my work in has 115gs, 85,000 items in 8500 folders. 
Now lots of these are just objects etc. 
--
But I'm amazed at the difference in time. 
And yes, I can select either the set cube or the scene cube and merge it into the open scene.

I'm guessing this isn't a bug until a few others do the save a cube as a scene and then as a subset time test.
