AutoCAD 2011 : Serious Lag Time before HATCH EDIT ribbon appears after selecting hatch in dwg
Source: ADSK Tech Support.
I understand that when using the HATCH command in AutoCAD 2011, the program hangs for some time before the hatch ribbon appears.
We are currently investigating this issue with AutoCAD 2011 as there does seem to be a problem with the new Hatch feature in the program. The hope is to have a fix included in the first update for 2011, but, unfortunately, there is no time frame on when this will be released.

As a workaround, please do the following:
Set HPQUICKPREVIEW = 0
Set HPDLGMODE = 1
Go to the Selection tab in Options, click the “Contextual Tab States” button at the bottom (under Ribbon Options), and then select “Do not switch to contextual tab on selection.”
Additionally, you might also consider doing what is detailed on this web page:
