Hello,

A user on my network has been noticing a significant slowdown when using Photoshop (he’s not sure when it started.) I looked at its process and it’s allocating 620Mb+ with no images open. I closed Photoshop and restarted it while observing its process. The memory immediately begins climbing after startup until it hits 620Mb. Any suggestions? I remember reading something about bad fonts causing memory leaks on startup, but I’m unsure where to go from here.

Thanks,
Shawn

Figures, I solve the problem before anyone even replied. My solution was to watch the process in task manager while PS started up. The large jump in memory usage occurred when the patterns were being read. Turns out he had a 18000x18000pixel pattern saved. doh! Deleted it and the mem usage dropped down to 110Mb.

Thanks anyhow. I hope someone finds this info useful.

First, glad you solved the problem. Second, thanks for sharing. Slowdowns with PS have been a common problem in these NG’s, as of late. I would not have thought about Patterns. Maybe this can help some poor soul later, if they just use Google.Groups in their search.
