AES CS5 very slow in Windows Vista

Post by ddbell »

When I run Adobe Extend Script CS5 in Windows Vista it's painfully slow. Simple things like typing code, copying code, pasting code, etc. can be delayed by 4-5 seconds. Has anyone else experienced this?

When I run AES 2 for CS3 or CS4 on the same system it runs fine without any delays.

The only times I see that kind of behavior are when working with large scripts (10K lines+) or when the script reads large XML files (20K lines+).

Well, it's a little over 10k lines so that is probably contributing. However, it's strange how AES 2 has no problem at all with it. I don't understand what could be so different about the new version that would slow it down so much vs. the old version. I guess I'll just have to live with it. I do most of the scripting in AES 2 anyway because of it.

Fire up a process monitor and see how much CPU ESTK is burning. Try it with different size files to see if there's a correlation.

Also, it may make sense to break your file up into separate pieces and have them included by a 'main' script.
