Hi,
I've had a look around the forums, and there are a number of "answers" for this but they all date back from 2 years ago or more so wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.
I run X6 on my machine at work running Win7 on a 256GB SSD no problems.
I run X6 on my machine at home runninf Win 8 on a 128GB SSD and an additional HDD serves my storage user files and temp drive copy and paste is crazy slow!
It's not temp files or "colour styles" I've checked and I have none...
Any suggestions?! My hunch is something to do with my user files on a different disk to my program and windows files... ;-)
Thanks in advance!

It appears that individual objects can carry all kinds of garbage from other users, such as tens of thousands of views stored in the view manager. We had a case of someone in China running a macro or some kind of option that stored every single view. Simply copying and pasting such an object in effect infects the whole file it is pasted into. There is no warning that this kind of thing is happening, just the awful slowdowns. http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/t/38013.aspx?PageIndex=2

Thanks! I'll take a look, although I'm the only user on my computer. Not sure I use the view manager.... the weird thing is that I use X6 on my work PC every day, rather than just occasionally, and it's fine. It's a fairly simple system though - running windows 7 on a single SSD - rather than my SSD/HDD combo...
Thanks again!
This actually appears to be something of a meta-issue. It isn't restricted to Draw or COREL. InDesign has a problem of similar scope and incidence in its pasteboard. You can directly control the spacing vertically between pages or spreads, but there is no way to easily control the horizontal space. For that matter, I've never seen how to do that in COREL, although I haven't had a significant problem and never really looked for the answer. In InDesign, however, it is a nightmare. Once you do something - undefined - that causes the document to lose the pasteboard, it's time to pray. The only solution that works reliably is to copy and paste to a new document created from some existing source that hasn't lost the pasteboard. There are workarounds, like opening a new document and using it solely for temporary stacking of objects on a page, but they are all tedious and slow.
The reason I bring this up, however, is to demonstrate that perhaps there is a common underlying problem having to do with procedures that evolve within entities like COREL or Adobe. Both the drastic slowdowns in COREL and the pasteboard problem in InDesign have been around and documented for most of a decade, thru several versions of the programs. I'm reminded of the phantom drive error that plagued the Commodore 64, which Commodore only admitted the existence of after it had been definitively demonstrated by one of the software producers groups, after years of lost files.
Bizarrely, the problem seems to have resolved itself! No idea why!
I had this problem, it was AMD Radeon software for the GPU which was causing it for me. My CorelDraw X8 was slow when creating a new document and very slow copy/paste, Export and Publish to PDF.I uninstalled the "Non-WHQL-Win10-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive" using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and corel worked as intended, on a note im using windows 10 and i let windows do the automatic update it works perfect. Sounds like its an GPU software problem not a Corel problem?I also removed and wouldn't rule out:Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64)Hopefully this helps some people cause i know it drove me insane!
