Illustrator slows down rapidly over time

Hey,
since the CC version of Illustrator, the program loses performance quicker than ever over time.
I have the newest graphics drivers on my ATI and 16GB RAM, i7.
When i work with symbols, text styles and everything else you need for UI design, I need to restart the program quite often to keep working. Sometimes even clicking on things can take up to 3 seconds to be rendered on screen.
Why is the newest version of Illustrator slower than the pre-Mercury driven versions?

Aloof,
Just to make sure (relevance depending on the previous version), are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?

Does adding applicaions to Dock slow down start up time?

Does adding applicaions to Dock slow down start up time? I'm thinking about placing the whole creative suite on dock but I'm unsure whether it will slow down time it takes to start up my laptop, please help.

On the dock? Not particularly. If you have things starting up with the computer then yes.
Having lots of stuff on your desktop does though.
Best of luck.

Thought you didnt get slow downs at peak times?

how come bt say that you wont slow down within peak times but on this site somewhere it says you may notice slow downs during peak times (4-11)???? im still getting high latency issues and its between these times. apparently theres only 30 out of 100 people in the cabinet, surely exchange congestion if thats the case.

So where are you seeing the latency spikes?

Illustrator slowing down after creating a pattern swatch

I am creating pattern swatches in Illustrator and every time I do my computer slows down to the speed of tar in winter. Anyone have a solution?
Anyone else had this problem before?
Please help me!!!

Computer slows down more each time I print a PDF. It reverts to a reasonable speed if I restart the computer. Everything worked normally until I installed Avast Virus Protection.

I have Windows XP and Adobe Reader XI. My printer is a Ricoh Aficio 240W.
My computer normally lacks internet access. I briefly connected it to the internet to install the full version of Avast Antivirus, then disconnected it from the internet again, and it has been disconnected from the internet since.
After I installed Avast the computer began acting screwy when I printed PDF files. I uninstalled Avast but the screwiness continues.
The image in the upper left corner was taken after doing one printing of a PDF file. I'm pretty confident AcroRd32.exe. is Adobe Reader. Notice that after running one print Adobe Reader is using about 50 CPU's.
The image to the right of that was taken after doing two printings of a PDF file. Notice that after running two prints there are two AcroRd32.exe processes using 50 CPU's.
The image below the other two was taken after doing three or four printings of a PDF file. Notice that after three printings one AcroRd32.exe process is using 50 CPU's and two others are using about 25. After about three printings my computer slows down dramatically, and it keeps getting slower the more prints I do.
When I restart the computer it reverts back to normal. Can anyone think of a better solution to this problem of increasing slowness than restarting the computer every two PDF prints?
My computer currently has no virus protection, although Windows Firewall is up. Someone at Avast I briefly mentioned this too thinks this should not happen and he was wondering if the computer has some sort of virus...but before I removed Avast it told nothing about viruses that I know of. I honestly do not know if anyone scanned the computer with Avast before removing Avast, but I suspect it was scanned before the removal of Avast. I suppose this could be the result of some virus...but then the computer behaves quite normally, except when I print PDFs. I'm wondering if Avast changed some settings in my printer program or Adobe programs....
I have CCleaner. Every time I analyze my computer to look for stuff to remove to speed up the computer it shows Internet Explorer history files, and sometimes Internet Explorer temporary internet files despite not being online. If I click on Internet Explorer to go onto the internet, I am told I am working offline.
Thanks. Guesses are welcomed.

Note that regarding this section:
The image in the upper left corner was taken after doing one printing of a PDF file. I'm pretty confident AcroRd32.exe. is Adobe Reader. Notice that after running one print Adobe Reader is using about 50 CPU's.

After about three printings my computer slows down dramatically, and it keeps getting slower the more prints I do.
The layout changed when I posted. Therefore, what I mean by the image in the upper left corner is the image at the top. What I mean by the image to the right of that is the image in the middle of the other two. What I mean by the image below the other two is, of course, the image at the bottom.

Rolling patch 1 slows down the response time?

          Does anybody know why intalling rolling patch 1 with wls 6.0sp2 causes the slow
          down of the server response time?


          Yes, but i'm not sure about the differences between RP1 and RP2. Which are the
          main bugs that RP2 fixes and RP1 doesn't??

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overall performance?

The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

Adobe/Illustrator slow down

With 2 Gbs of memory and hearing macs do not get Spyware/Virus', I'm sitting here wondering what could possibly be slowing my Adobe Photopshop and Illustrator down. It's Lagging, taking forever to load!
Now, I'm aware Apple didn't do a very good job with CS2 on a mac because of Rosetta but when this baby first started up, I was just fine and dandy.
Could it be my fonts? Just what type of maintenence is needed to make this go right. I've been through disk utility, disabled almost half my fonts. Being in the graphic arts industry, it's getting aggravating working and I tend to run home to my pc to get work done.
Any ideas?

"I'm aware Apple didn't do a very good job with CS2 on a Mac"
Actually you are way off-base with that one. It isn't Apple's responsibility to make 3rd party apps work on a Mac, it is the 3rd party software manufacture's responsibility! Other than slow starts as Rosetta loads and begins translating PowerPC code into Intel code on the fly, most of us don't have issues with CS2 on an Intel Mac.
First you should go to Adobe and get the CS3 Universal binary beta. It is free to all registered CS2 owners.
Second, I would familiarize myself with basic Mac maintenenace. A good place to educate yourself on caring for Mac OS X is the X Lab.

I'm on FCPX 10.1.1. Is there a way to change the speed of a keyframe effect? I have still images zooming onto the storyline, but I can't find any way to speed up or slow down the zoom time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to change the speed of a keyframe zoom effect on still photos? Clip duration doesn't seem to change the zoom speed at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Open the video animation (Control-v). In transform>All click and drag the X and Y keyframes (which should be together) – left to speed up the scale change and right to slow it down . It may take a little practice to get this to work (I seldom get it right the first try).
You could do this individually for each clip, or you wanted to adjust multiple clips you can copy and paste attributes to your other other clips.

Firefox 4 slowes down after some time - possibly memory leak related

After couple minutes of intensive Firefox 4 usage (multiple tabs opened and closed, however no more than 15 tabs open simultanously) browser becomes '''unresponsive''' and periodically '''generates high cpu load''' (100% of one of two cores for about 4 seconds), '''memory consumption''' becomes around 450MB.

It would be helpful if Mozilla could provide a memory profiling tool that would help us civilians track down memory problems either in the core products or in extensions. The suggestions to create new profiles, re-add extensions, and do A/B (C/D/E) testing along the way, while accurate, aren't practical when we discover that FF 4 on Win 7 is using north of 1GB of memory.

Computer to computer copy slows down over internal airport network over time

This is a strange problem but here goes...
Some useful background info:
I have recently successfully downloaded a 212MB file from a site on the internet through a new Apple Airport Express network I just created as a troubleshooting method in about 12 minutes or so and I don't seem to have any slowing down issues with internet connections to websites and downloads.
The issue I seeing with internal network copies:
When I try to copy files from an Apple PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2 to an iMac G5 running the same version of the OS, copies over the internal network exhibit a very odd behavior. The copy is from the Power Book G4's Public folder to any folder on the iMac.
The copy starts in The Finder just fine and seems to be going very fast as expected by an internal network copy but after some short arbitrary amount of time, the copy slows down, the estimated times grows slowly but consistently for the copy to complete and eventually the OS says there was a problem and the copy fails. There's no error number of message other than the copy couldn't be completed. As I mentioned above, the time to complete the transfer id initially estimated as a very short amount of time but eventually, the copy action hits a brick wall where it slows down further and further until it fails.
Other notes: the copy I've been attempting consists of files and folders that are of various sizes but I've tried it with small and large copies and this has worked fine in the past with Leopard and other, older OS' over the WRT54G's wireless network. I created the Airport Express network to see if that would solve this problem but it hasn't which makes me think the issue is with the router and not the wireless network.
Additional details:
Sometimes, the reported copy slowdown occurs at 5MB into the copy, other times it doesn't happen until it gets about 50MB into the copy. What's strange to me is, large file downloads over the Internet are just fine. There does appear to be some burst that degrades a bit over time but not like the internal network copy's speed which just drops off really quickly.
I have been successful in the past copying from Mac to Mac over this exact same router using the WTR54G's wireless network but I started having problems fairly recently and now the copy doesn't finish over the WRT54G or the Airport Express network that I recently created to see if the issue was with the WRT54G's wireless network settings or hardware.
There's plenty of free space on the machine that I'm copying to but this happens repeatedly when I try to copy from one computer running Leopard to another.
I don't think this issue is related to the Airport Express because I recently created a new network to test this issue called Bedroom Airport Express. Previously, when I'd been successful performing these types of transfers, I was using the LinkSys WRT54G's built in wireless capabilities and had no issues using Go To and entering the computer's IP address.
The router is still the WRT54G on ATT's DSL network using DHCP and there's no special config., other than that I had to re-IP the internal network to 192.168.199.1 for work related reasons but that's about it.
The MTU had to be increased to 1492 for the internet to work properly when I got my first WRT54G; an older version of this device that I replaced recently with a new one [although this copy worked with the new one as well prior to the issue I'm posting about coming up].
The firmware version of the WTR54G router is v8.00.2 and the Airport Express has been recently updated to the latest firmware available (this issue was occurring over the WRT54G's wireless network before the firmware upgrade to the Airport Express).
If anyone knows what if anything I can do to troubleshoot what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
This networking stuff is a bit of a black art to those of us that are dilettantes in this arena and I certainly qualify as a dabbler in the art of network configuration.
I've been using a LinkSys router for a long time with a Mac/PC internal network that connects to the internet and computers inside the internal network for many years now and have had few issues.
Thanks in advance,
Darin

I'm new to the Apple discussions, although not new to Apple computers and I've seen that this post has received quite a few views but no responses. Maybe someone could direct me to the right place to post this, if this is not that place, or, suggest some terminal tools that I could use to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport network or LinkSys Router I'm using [WTR54G v.8.0.0.x]? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide to a networking noobie.

My mid 2011 MacBook Air fell off my couch onto carpet. Slowed down.

I made a post a few weeks ago about how my mid 2011 MacBook Air slowed down randomly over night. A few days later it randomly started functioning properly again. I was stoked.
Today, I was using my MacBook on the couch, when it slipped off and landed on the carpet bottom up with the lid closed.
The moment I opened it up again, it was back to being slow again.
I ran the Disk Utility, tried repairing it, it said that the hard drive 'appeared to be ok'
But yeah. I'm gonna say it's a pretty safe to assume that the drop has everything to do with the slow response time.
Would anyone happen to know what actually might have went wrong, though?

I would think a poor connection of some sort, may be a plug and socket or a soldered joint problem. I think you need to take it in for repair, I cannot think it will be software that is causing the fault, but...... you never know.

Random internet slowing down on MacBook Pro with Retina Display

Hi there!
I have a 15" Macbook Pro With Retina Display, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB, OS X 10.9.2 (13C64). late 2013
for some reason since the last system upadate, my internet on my Macbook has been slowing down at random times during operation, sometimes I am using facetime and browsing Safari, facetime continues operating normally but everything else relted to the interent would show me that there is no internet connection "Basically i cannot use anything related to the internet unless i turn off and on the wirless adapter. and its not just while using Facetime and safari but Safari alone aswell "one second am using the internet no problem playing video on youtube and checking facebook and all the sudddent it stops loading and tells me that there is no internet connected though the wireless indicator shows otherwise.
I have really fast internet and am the only one using it, i have comcast Blast Plus "57 MB/S download speeds".
could u please help me get the bottom of this random occuring issue ?
