Question

Welp... I see that the latest INDD (18) Is a sluggish mess on Intel chip (Was "Intel Silicon")

It's like working with two cinder blocks tied to each wrist. It's just awful

Maybe it's the Pig OS Apple calls Monterey.

 

Reagardless, it's terrible

I've noticed the mainline apps (ID, AI, PS) all seem to trigger the fan frequently on my 27" 5K iMac. I'm not ready to point at the latest versions, or a specific MacOS version, as I can't really pinpoint when it started happening more often. But it sure is annoying. Look at these hogs! Illustrator is idle and ID has one three-page file open!

Same setup for me Steve, and no speed issues. 

 

Edit: It's actually the M1 Max, and I have 64 GB of RAM. 4TB with 3.5 free. So plenty of system resources. What are your specs, @8808520? And did you import your preferences from v17 when you installed v18?

    I'm using InDesign CC 2023 (v 18.0) on a M1 MacBook Pro running macOS 12.6 (Monterey).

     

    I'm having no speed problems at all.

    Now, I'm confused, @8808520. Isn't it one or the other?

    Hi @8808520 ,

     

    Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please share a few more details like:

     

    1. The version of macOS Monterey.
    2. More details about what exactly is happening at your end. If you can share a small video of the workflow, that would be helpful.
    3. Is it happening while working on a specific file or multiple files?

     

    We're here to help, just need more information.

     

    Regards

    Rishabh
