Just installed CS4 Master Suite and immediately experienced the kind of lag that is being described on this forum, and elsewhere.
Specs: EVGA 680i/E8400, 4Gb, ATI 4870 1Gb (8.12 driver – latest), Vista Ultimate 64-bit, OS/PS running off Velociraptor with 2nd Raptor for scratch file.
Turning OpenGL support in Preferences>Performance did nothing to solve the problem. This is even with Cache levels set to 8.
However, what did alleviate the issue was turning Aero *OFF* and reverting back to Windows Classic Theme.
– Right click on desktop
Changing themes from Vista->Classic *while* PS CS4 is open alleviates all lag.
Admittedly, I can’t believe that Vista’s Aero gets in the way *that* much – perhaps someone has found a way to tweak Aero settings.
