Hello,

I have exchanged a few emails with Mac Support about speed problems in
FinMac 2004.  

My complaints have to do with the miserable hesitation when editing
SmartShapes or when editing using Special Tools.

Their suggestion was that I turn off auto smart word extensions in lyrics,
turn off auto spacing and auto update, turn off human playback (or set it to
quicktime instruments), and lower screen resolution and number of colors.

None of these worked -- I always work with spacing and update off, I don't
care much about playback, and I'm not now working with lyrics.  I tried
lowering resolution, but it made no difference.

Who knew being "smart" also means being slow?  Any proposals for renaming
these "smart" items?

I'm posting for two reasons.  First of all, those of you who are having
worse speed problems than me or are working with lyrics might try their
suggestions.  Second, I wanted to share the last response I got from Mac
Support:
