Doug...I think your problem is not any one application...but the combination of apps you have running concurrently. While computers are capable of running a lot, when you have apps that are designed to run on their own machines (i.e. CF on a web server, SQL on a db server, etc) you are looking at large complex apps that use a lot of real estate...both CPU and memory. Unless you happen to have your machine on steroids, you are going to have issues. What you should do for a development environment is just set up a separate server for that. It doesn't even have to be a beefed up production level server...I have an older 1.8 with 256mb running MySQL and CF for development and even a local mail server. The other thing that is good about doing it this way is that you can then have an exact dupe of your production environment and access it the same way you would access your production environment. You working machine is also more likely to develop issues because you are adding and removing software, surfing the net, email, etc...so having your development environment isolated from this is a smart thing to do as well. Less likely that you will lose your work that way. It's also more efficient to do backups of a separate server than to try and do parts or all of a working machine.

Not sure what you mean by IE using more resources than DW. On my machine DW uses 51,366k and Explorer uses 25,383k. My biggest hog though is JRUN which is using 75,700k D.B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Casey Dougall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 8:58 AM Subject: Re: Dreamweaver is a total dog!! > Dreamweaver always runs less ram than firefox and Internet explorer so I > don't know what peoples issues are with it. > > Ben Forta wrote an article eons ago about closing certain panels which would > speed up dreamweaver.
