Upgraded a few months back to SC3.1 because I used the older version A LOT.

When I run SC3.1, my CPU usage pegs and drags performance to a stumbling crawl. My workstation is a 2.7ghz, .5g ram with just a hand full of webdev apps running. --without SC running, my cpu idles at 10%.

Any insights would be gratefuly accepted.

Hi Micke,

You might want to try adjusting the setting under the 'quality' menu. If you have high or 'high with smooth edges' selected then drop back down to 'normal' and you should see an improvement. You should also exit and reopen the application after you do this and it will free up some more resources.

The high quality settings do take up more resources and they are doing some pretty hefty graphics manipulation behind the scenes.

If you have further problems then please post again.

That was it.. thank you very kindly for your responsiveness.. and these really awesome tools.

That's due to the new message, it's actually above this one beneath your original post. I'll sort out the order code which is incorrect.

ah there it is.. no worries.. thanks tons for the FTL respsonse.

FYI: The order of messages on the forums has now been adjusted so they appear in the correct date order.

Micke,

You may want to try downloading our new version 3.3. We've done a lot of work improving the speed of the application so that the high quality option does not slow down the machine.
