  Contents of text attributes containing Rich Text results in
  long time to save
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is because of an expensive operation in handling
  embedded items in DOORS object attributes of type "Text".
  This expensive operation is performed for all the objects
  and attributes even when they are not modified. This
  exponentially increases the save time. The fix now restricts
  this expensive operation only to the objects that modified.
