quark sucks (i mean, quark SIX), gets sluggish after a while on my G4.

text entry, etc gets delayed.

any ideas why this might happen? (and what to do about it??)


thanx!

Same here, it really crawls on the G4 733. A restart seems to cure it for the most part.

It's probably one of the many "features" they added in version 6. I believe it's called "slowdown.XT" and is meant to force you to take a coffee break. It's probably why they took so damn long to release an OSX version.

InDesign CS!!!!!

Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that might work, other than disabling some of your fonts if you have a lot of them open.
