To be exact, complex filters such as Smart Sharpen, Lens Blur, etc. are unusually slow on my computer. I tried to time the Smart Sharpen filter process on a rather small photo (PSD file 15,4MB 16bit) and it takes around 2minutes and 20-30seconds. Bigger files (70MB) can take up to 10min !!!. I’ve checked with other CS2 users with similar computer setups and they all say it won’t take more than 15sec for the same image sizes.
I asked this question on some forums and followed the suggestions but none of them helped to cut down the time. I’ve played with cache levels&memory usage, tried every possible alternative but none of them made any noticable difference. Then I also tried to change the location and size of the WinXP Virtual Memory. Even at its max. limit(??) 4096MB it didn’t make a difference.
The computer:
– Win XP Pro
– ASUS P5W DH Deluxe motherboard
– Core2Duo 6600 processor
– 2GB RAM (not sure about its type and brand)
– Matrox Parphelia APVe PCIe graphics card 128MB of DDR
– 1st HD: standart with C & D partitions. C has the WinXP and most of the program files. D partition has now the Win Paging File and used for photos
– 2nd HD: WE Raptor 150GB, 50GB is dedicated as PS scratch disk. The remaining has the PS CS2 and big photo files. First, CS2 was on C drive and I uninstalled it and reinstalled on the Raptor HD but this also didn’t help.
AFAIK, I should be getting pretty fast performance with this setup but I’m beginning to think there is some kind of a serious problem with my hardware (or software??) I ran some tests for the HD’s and RAM, defragged the drives but didn’t get any warnings or error messages. Everything else seems to run pretty smooth on this computer but not these heavy filters. I suspect maybe the RAMs are somehow not functioning properly or maybe something with the Video card (I don’t if it can effect the performance so much)
I’d appreciate a lot if you could help me to locate the problem. Thank You
