Abode Bridge loading time.

I currently use Photoshop CS with no problems.

I downloaded a trial version of CS2 to see if the improvements were worth the
upgrade.

When starting Abode Bridge it is taking 40 seconds plus to load. Just checking
if this is normal or I may have a problem somewhere. Have 1Gb of memory and 2
160Gb drives with an AMD Athlon 2.4 processor.

I use a 4-year-old laptop. 512 MB, 850 MH, 30 GB built-in drive with
software & scratch space + 250 GB drive on USB 2 holding image files.

CS2 Bridge takes between about 10 and 25 seconds to load, depending on
various factors. (I leave it pointing at a folder without images in
before exiting, to speed up next load. I also use a distributed cache,
and don't hold settings in the database, but I don't know if that makes
any difference).

Barry thanks for that comment. Just tried and it makes quite a difference.

Yep, Bridge is unacceptably slow. Adobe should release their assembler
coders on that POS Bridge and make it as fast as the OS so that it becomes
the center of the suite instead of the dim bastard-child that it is.

Mine takes 2 - 3 seconds to open.

How do you manage that? Even opening on an empty folder is sloooow, and I
have a whiz-bang system.

No idea. I'm opening to a folder with 15 images. P4 3.2, 2 GB RAM. WinXP
Pro.

After a restart I think Bridge takes about 10 seconds to load but subsequent
loads are just over 2 seconds.

That's because you're loading it from memory cache, not from disk.

I agree.

Mine takes about 10 seconds on a P4 3.3GHz system with 2 GB RAM

There are a couple of known bugs in Bridge that can increase the launch
time.

See the user to user forums on Adobe's web site for details (there is a
forum just for Bridge).
