Dreamweaver suddenly flaky & slow

Question

Suddenly today, after using it without issue yesterday (and
putting my computer to sleep) DW 8 is acting strange. I switched
over to it and the building site cache dialog came up. Then it
stayed busy and unresponsive for like 4 minutes. Then I was able to
work. So with a few html files open and I went to paste some code
onto another file and beachball unresponsiveness for at least
another 4-5 minutes. So, I force quit it and restarted. It comes to
loading extensions and hangs on Initializing Assets for at least
2-3 minutes. Then it comes up and loads site cache again. Then,
becomes unresponsive for another 3-4 minutes. I restart my computer
and launch DW first, nothing else open, it stays on Initializing
Assets and exhibits the same hanging behavior. If I open a file,
the window comes up blank and hangs while loading. Then I get the
site cache and then it hangs after that for 3-4 minutes. What's
going on?
What are these assets that now seem to hang start up and what
could be causing my sudden overall unresponsive behavior? I
installed nothing in the last few days, done nothing new, just
work. What's with the site cache popping up all the time?

Answer 1

If you have any third part extensions that work with
recordsets, I would
advise against installing the update until Adobe provides an
update to the
updater.
