Starting with FrameMaker 2019, FrameMaker is 64-bit so you can throw more RAM at it. I suggest 32 Gb at a minimum. There is also a faster PDF engine starting with 2019. To be sure that it will improve your process, you may want to download and install the latest trial and see what kind of improvements you get.

Waiting on Frame to finish processing is slowing down my productivity (and trying my patience). What's the best way to tackle this issue? More RAM? A faster CPU? Something else? I'm running FM 2017 on the following: 64-bit Windows 10 Pro version 20H2 Intel i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 16 GB Thanks!
