Hello
I have encountered very slow response when trying to produce a 45 page document which needs many .jpeg images inserting, sometimes up to six on each 3-column page. While InDesign behaves sort of normally on text only pages, it slows to a virtual standstill when on the pages with images. (But this is what its for and I didn't have this problem with CS2!!)
Having read through some of the postings on this topic from last year I have followed the advice to:
1) disable LSD in Preferences – Interface
2) disable thumbnail display in Pages
3) adjust view settings to Typical with Raster and Vector Images greyed out
4) disable Save Preview Images with Documents
5) check Links before opening documents
7) switch Preflight off
I am operating with the following:
Packard Bell ixtreme M5740 64 bit
Intel Core i5 CPU 650@3.2GHz
4.0 GB RAM
ATII Radeon HD5570 graphics card 2779 MB available memory, 1024MB dedicated
plenty of free space – 274GB on c: drive and 296 GB on a D: drive
This seems to conform to/exceed the Indesign recommended hardware spec?
What's going on guys?
I've lost a good 6-8 hours so far trying to sort it out, including a trawl through my computer's innards, running it through UniBlue SpeedmyPC etc. Any help and observations will be gratefully received.
