  CS5 performance issue?

  Posted by Kevin Knutson on June 18, 2010 at 6:56 pm

  Hey all-

  Just recently got the CS5 Production Premium, and its looking pretty crispy. However, photoshop cs5 seems to destroy my overall system performance. As in, other programs lock up, apple-tabbing locks up, etc.

  I didn’t have any problems with cs3/cs4, and I don’t seem to have any trouble with the other CS5 applications, so I’m not sure what the hang up is.

  Activity monitor doesn’t show any massive spike in CPU usage, so I think it has something to do with the openGL business.

  Here are some stats:

  System:

  Mac OSX 10.6.4
  2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
  17 GB RAM
  NVIDIA Quadro FX-4500 OpenGL Engine

  Performance settings in PS:

  Scratch disc has 94 GB available.
  Let photoshop use 11476 MB (69%) memory
  History States 20
  Cache Levels 6
  Cache title size 1024K
  Enabled OpenGL Drawing

  Thoughts?
