Annotation Labeling Going Very Slowly

Question

I just upgraded to arcview 10.3.1.  The movement of annotation labels stored in the map is extremely slow.  The software and the data is stored on my local machine.  Only the license manager is stored on a server.  Any ideas?

EDIT: In particular, it is when I click on the text annotation itself. Or double click to open up the editor dialog.

Yes, I now store all my labels in a geodatabase.  Storing them in a map document is useless as it takes a minute just to select a label, let alone move it.

I have encountered a similar issue, and the labels included leader lines, and annotation stored in the map. I found increased/acceptable performance by converting to annotation stored in a geodatabase.

William - Does your annotation have leader lines?  There is a known bug (starting with 10.2.1) with performance problems happening with annotation that have leader lines.  We are having the same issue, but two of our four users have severe performance problems with leader-line anno (10-15 seconds to select one annotation), while the other two only have minor performance problems (1-2 seconds to select one annotation).
