Digital BW, The Print

Hi Ron,

Photoshop shouldn't be that much slower. Obvious things to check are:

Are you running the latest version of OS X and its incremental patches?
There were some stages of OS X that were very slow

Do you have enough memory? I find OS X needs significantly more memory to
run well. That may mean less for Photoshop than you are used to, hence the
slowdown.

Cheers,

Wayne

Bob,
I use both v6 and v7.0 photoshop on my system as well.  What I did is set up
another additional "plugins" reference folder in v7.0 that points to the v6
physical plugins folder.  Seems to work just fine.

Everything being equal PS will run somewhat slower in OSX because of 
the large overhead in X.
But not less then half?!
You can't allot RAM in OSX.  The system does it for you by need.
