Just got a Dell Studio XPS, 12 GB RAM, Windows 7, 64 bit. CS5 locks up after roughly 12 changes to any document! I’ve increased RAM usage to 8 GB, Cache set to 6, Cache Tile size 1028K, History States to 60, GPU settings to Basic with vertical Sync and Anti-alias Guides/Paths checked. What are your performance settings? Help!

Thank you for this write up, we were thinking of upgrading to CS5, but we will probably wait a little while now.

Hopefully you already found the fix for this issue. If you haven’t, what I tried was Edit>Preferences>Performance>Advanced Settings then switch to basic. Worked for me, might help you.

I actually disagree with what you say here because cs5 runs much faster (especially when first launch it) with all my 500mb brushes and 1600 fonts.. even after working with some files, I noticed a bit more speed and less problems with it than cs4.
I yet to encounter working with massive 2GB files but so far with files under 400mb, no problems or slow downs like I used to have on cs4..

Isn't it ironic that a graphic prgramm doesn't run that fast on a Mac which is specialized for graphic designer than on a PC?

See, now I would say the opposite, CS4 was just ok to me as far as speed goes. I mean, you could only give CS4 4gb of memory with 32bit — My machine config. + CS5 is insane. It's got to be something else in your system that's making it slower..? I know you won't want to hear this, but have you considered the 'ol faithful of low-level formatting your drive and re-installing everything? Pain in the ass I know.
