I'm am just at a loss of words.

What a mess. It could not be any slower. What were you thinking Adobe?

You ripped apart the code just to add GPU support for what? To provide worse performance?

Make sure you DL the demo first... CS4 is a disaster.

The latest hardware cant even run it smoothly... Dont tell me its graphic drivers.

      OK. You guys must be using a mainframe to run CS4. I thought CS3 was pretty fast but CS4 drags.

      That is the Splash screen and apart from the names of the team it gives a running indication of what's loading.

      If PS freezes or hangs while loading, you know what it was doing at the time.

      You can't get rid of it.

      Yes, I know it has no effect. However, I would like to get rid of it.

      Don: It has no effect on startup, it just keeps you occupied while the rest of the app loads.

      When you start CS4 or CS3 the blue box with all of the CS4 team member appears. I was wondering if one could cancel it.

      It seems to be a little slower even though I have 4 Gigs of RAM. Does anyone know how to get rid of the "welcome" screen with all of the Adobe CS4 team members?
