Intel Xeon cpu e5-1620 v2@3.70 GHz 3.70 GHz
AMD FirePro D300 (FireGL V)
12 GB Ram
Windows 8.1 64 Bit

Blender Versions
Blender 2.72a 32 bit
Blender 2.72b 64 bit
Blender 2.72a 64 bit

Blender works very slow and freezes all the time.
When trying a new version the test I do is to create a tree and try the wind.
That is to add a sapling, Bevel to 2, Tree split level to 3, Go Show leaves, leaves Rectangular,
Now Go Armature and Click Use Armature and Armature Animation.
Now when I scrub the timeline it will show wind but very slow. The old computer will be faster.
But on the new xeon it hardly works at all and may freeze.

It is a constant problem where Blender will freeze as I am working with it and have to shut down.
At times It will just not work I will have to stop using it as I will have to restart too many times.

All tests I have done on the Mac Xeon computer show it is working perfectly well.

First guess would be a graphics driver issue, but please do the following tests:

Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date.
Ensure your GPU driver supports at least OpenGL 1.4.
Try the latest build from our buildbot .
Try to start Blender in factory settings (--factory-startup commandline option) (this will show whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
Try to tweak OGL settings in UserPreferences, System tab.
Attach here the report generated by Help -> System Info.
Try to place this dll next to your blender.exe (software OGL, will be slow, but will show whether this is a driver issue or not).

No answer for almost one week -> closed! Sorry, but we have to be very strict in order to keep our bug tracker organized.
