You see, that's very different. In this code, Evaluate has no effect whatsoever: Plot[{Evaluate[f1[t]/.sol], Evaluate[f2[t]/.sol]},{t,0,1200}] because the first argument of Plot is a List, and you're not applying Evaluate to it. The List is held, not the list elements separately. In this code, on the other hand: Plot[Evaluate[f[t]/.sol],{t,0,1200}] you ARE applying Evaluate to the first argument. I don't think that explains why the plot is slow, but we still haven't seen the actual code. Send me the notebook, if you like.
