This doesn't fit together well: If you always have to climb through the full hierarchy - and I'm sure you have to, with the full hierarchy DRC job, I think it would be more efficient to DRC-clean the subcells before.
I might agree with you if this was 1995 - the drc job runs fast enough that there is more overhead running multiple jobs than running a single job and using edit in place. The overhead I am experiencing relates to being forced back to the top level (and save) each time I pan to the next error.
I've never had this issue before - drc has always let me pan to the next error regardless of my current position in the hierarchy. I am just trying to find out what is different in my current set up that is not allowing me to do this.
