This sounds a little like a bug I encountered in FrameMaker 9. If I used
the arrow keys to scroll, the cursor moved extremely slowly and would
travel at only about one character per second. I'm not sure what the
issue was, but it occurred when the Paragraph Designer was open and got
worse if
I'm about to have a new computer built to replace the 6-year-old old Win7
box I'm currently using.
We bought a new computer last summer that I did a ton of research on to
ensure we got something really good-but I don't have the time to devote to
research at the moment and I'm hoping to spend
Thanks, Reng.

FrameMaker 7 was the most reliable version I used, both on Mac and PC.
I never owned FM8 but Jeremy Griffith of MIF2Go stuck with it as his
primary testing version.
FM9 was the release where Adobe added the super-buggy presentation
layer on top of the legacy code, which was a weird choice since
You never know when attempting to speak for others, if you'll be right for
all of them. Just to set things right, Steve, I thank you for saying that!
:) The first FM I saw was v3 on a Mac in 1989. I took it personally when
Adobe stopped advancing FM Mac development. However, I’m pleased that

If you have an Intel CPU with Turbo Boost, make sure it isn't disabled

That does sound weird. I suggest you email Frame tech support directly:

Code bloat and sloppy programming IMO. Gone are the days when applications had
to be economized to run in 640k of RAM and from a 360k floppy disk. Back then
developers were forced to be efficient and optimize for CPU utilization, RAM
usage, and install footprint. Now with a bajillion GB of RAM
Although I rarely use FrameMaker these days, I have read this discussion with
interest.
No-one is going to thank me for saying this, but doing heavy lifting with
structured documents in PowerPC Frame v 7 on a 2003 Mac, I never noticed any
performance issues. Odd.
Of course the app is much
It's definitely pod-based. With 0 pods displayed, I can move quickly through
text using the keyboard and the CPU 1 load won't rise above 5%. However, as I
display more pods on the screen, the load ramps higher, with Character Designer
and especially Paragraph Designer being the worst offenders.
Thank you for running the same test. I wonder why it ramps my CPU usage up so
high compared to yours. Would the number of Character formats or Paragraph
formats in the file or installed font families on the system impact this?
I'll try stripping out extraneous formats and see if that does
I just checked on my system. Having the paragraph catalog open while moving
the cursor through my document using the keyboard does increase usage, but
only to about 3%. I'm actually not surprised by that, since the cursor is
moving through the paragraph tags and the catalog reflects whatever tag
Follow-up: Just to be sure, I uninstalled all previous and coexisting versions
of FrameMaker, and completely reinstalled FM 2019 64-bit. Same behavior.
I find it interesting that under the Apps section in task manager, if you
expand FrameMaker, it's running something called "Legacy32.exe (32
Art,
I can't tell if your reply is intended tongue in cheek or not. A core i9 with
64GB of Ram is lightweight? According to CPU & RAM meters, the system isn't
even using 27% of RAM when under load running Frame, and of the 20 CPU cores,
Frame only utilizes one of them which it pegs to 100%;
