The performance and stability of my MacBookPro (2,33GHz, Core 2 Duo 10.4.9, 2 GB) is horrible. Photoshop and Bridge CS2 and CS3 (Beta) are running slower than on my PowerBook G4 (1.25 GHz, 1,5 GB). Both applications crash every 30 minutes. When I plug in a video projector the curser frezzes most of the time. Sometimes applications (Acrobat) didn't even start. They crash at once and then it needs 3-4 restarts until they work again. I checked with the Activity Monitor the versions and with Xbench the performance but the results were not really helpfull. I work mainly with EOS 1Ds Mark II RAW and 16bit Photoshop files.
Is the Phase One software faster on Intel Macs?
Any similar experience?
I'm in the middle of a large project. Any input is welcome.
Thanks,
Johannes
