It looks like currently the automatic validation of launch configurations in the launch configuration editor forces the load of referenced models, initially and on each update of text boxes in the dialog. While convenient for many common uses, delays caused by multiple model loads during a simple editing of launch configuration make editing problematic when larger than usual models are involved (and are likely to drive users to manual editing of .launch files.)
If validation indeed requires loading of the models, validation on request approach could be more appropriate, maybe similar to "Validate Plug-ins" button for Eclipse Application launch configurations? If this makes sense, I'll raise a bugzilla.

Hi Alex,
It's clearly a usability issue, could you send this directly to bugzilla
please?
Thanks,

Hi alex,
Validation that is invoked during launch configuration editing uses per
transformation ResourceSet instances. So given model being effectively
loaded only on first attempt. Subsequent calls just retries cached
Resource instance.
However I understand that even first loading can be very time consuming.
Raising CR to verify/modify that behavior sounds reasonable.
Regards,
Sergey
