Mac dual 2.5
6gb Ram
CS2 and Tiger

I find this test kind of odd because I have felt that since upgrading to CS2 and Tiger and all that Ram on the same day my system often runs like a dog, especially when working within ACR. I guess it must not be too bad after all, or there is something wrong with my ACR plugin...

Tim,
I don't know enough about memory management to really make anything like an intelligent comment, but the Adobe engineers have acknowledged a memory leak (whatever that is) on the Bridge/Windows Forums at Adobe.

http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@624.L1ZZeQwOsVX.36@.3bba11c7/23

( you have to cut and paste that link, I guess the forum software doesn't like the "at" sign)

I have no idea whether something similar could be happening on OSX, but I am also seeing what seems to be progressive slowdown the longer I work in Bridge/ACR/PS. The poor little Powerbook really starts gruntin' after a while. This never happened in CS. I wish I knew more about how to assess what was going on.

Dave,

What kind of video card do you have? Is it shared video (built into the motherboard) or a stand alone video card, and with how much built in memory?

thanks for the help guys.

its a 128 mb video card, fairly high end i think. hard drive (yup, only one) is absolutely chokkas which probably isn't helping.

thanks for the article on CS2 memory allocation. i do most of my work in C1 so have never paid to much attention to setting up photoshop.

cheers

Athlon 3500+, 1GB dual channel RAM, nForce 4 motherboard, time is 42 seconds. Firefox and thunderbird running in the background. It'll be interesting to see how it does when I upgrade to dual core later this year

Bit my dust Mr Hanson!

Dual Xeon 3.2GHZ 4GB raw, raided Raptors 74gb, 2 GB swap assigned to a 2GB ramdisk.

16 seconds. Tried it 3 times, all ~16 seconds and I have had PSCS2 running up for 2 days with bridge.

Damn you Phil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spend all this money just so I could be able to rotate a butterfly faster than anybody else an now you've bested me, rendering my computer worthless. You've always got to one up me, don't you?

Nah, more like transister envy

Don't worry Eric, your system is probably still good for surfing the web and reading email. That is what you get for going with AMD. Joking aside, I thought long and hard about doing the same, but what I wanted would have costed much more. I just couldn't justify it in the end. I had to catch up with you on lenses

25.49 secs on G5 Dual 2.5 w/ 2.5 GB ram - but with CS only as I haven't upgraded. Should / will CS2 be faster?
