Digital BW, The Print

I've noted some rather sluggardly behavior also; related to a memory 
leak? I don't know. What I'm getting is an absolute refusal by CS to 
use more than 4GB of scratch disk. I've given it as much as 12GB, 
and every time I get the 'scratch disks full' notice, when I check 
the swap disc it's always under 4GB.I hope they fix it soon!
