3DS Max Chugging Along... Why?

Hi Guys! I strted useing 3DS Max and i'm just getting used to its workflow.

In maya I would group together objects in heirarchies/parent/children. (ie, window glass to window frame, to whole window) And then instance that across the scene (like i'm doing in max). As far as I can tell, it isn't even a heavy scene. Just a building with some windows, doors, and a placeholder roof. Whenever I click on something, it takes forever to think about it... Then instancing.. think.. then copy.. think... etc.

But it seems like max doesn't like it when I do this. it hates instansing it even more. Is the feature just... broken? or can I improve my workflow somehow?

(also, it isn't my pc.) I'm happy to share the file if anyone else wants to try.
