We had a little thread on this a week or two ago. Several users confirmed the problem. Some had fast machines, so I guess the speed of my machine is not the main problem. I think they were all Mac users. I never did figure out if this is a Macintosh-only issue. None of the gurus on the list ev

For my part, I can't confirm the problem. I see it from time to time but when I do, I usually notice the problem in other apps besides Rev so I've always assumed it wasn't a Rev problem at all but rather a system-level problem. I'm not sure I'm a "wirehead" in this context -- perhaps more o

FWI, and I'm not saying this is the problem... Three days ago our senior editor's Mac (OSX) came to a grinding, nearly unusable condition, in all apps, slow keyboard responses, slow Mouse responses. We ran "top" from the terminal. Behold: no running apps were eating the CPU...but the kern

Hi Dan, Same here. I reported I sometimes got the same problem But such slowness doesn't occur very often (I have experienced it 2-3 times since I use Revolution, that is a year or so). Slowness is usually highly correlated with (1) the number of days my computer has been on ( I am on
