I'm trying to print a figure to PS on 2015a 64bit the function was working perfectly on 2012b 32bit but now the function is really slow

the command is really simple: print(figure_handles, '-dpsc2','-append',PSFileName, '-r400');

Please provide any useful information: What is "slow" in seconds, minutes or hours? Does the figure use the painters or OpenGL renderer? Are you writing on the same disk? Does it matter, if you 'append' the file or create a new one?

@Jan on 2012b 32bit it takes up to 7 mins while on 2015a 64bit it takes up to 30 mins, I'm writing on the same disk and i have to append as i use the PS file at the end and convert it to Pdf.

7 minutes to 30 minutes? Are you talking about 15000 pages? If not, something is going wrong. Do you export vector or pixel graphics? Do the figures contain thousands of elements, perhaps hidden behind others? Is the memory exhausted, such that Matlab swaps to the hard disk? The profiler might reveal, where the time is lost. I'm exporting 5 figures with 16 axes, buttons, hundreds of lines, patches, text and logos in about 1 second.
