My MacBook runs Flex fine, although I use the Eclipse plug-in and not Flex-Builder. The only weird problem I seem to have is that every so often the Keyboard shortcuts do not work so I have to save via the file menu and can't launch certain functions with my fn keys. I am not sure if this is a mac thing or an Eclipse thing. I haven't tested Flex on the PC since NOV.

I've been thinking about switching a lot of my development work over to the Mac, but the performance of FlexBuilder has been disappointing. I'm comparing FB on my new Mac Mini (1.83ghz core duo, 1 gig RAM) against a more than 3-year-old PC (3.1 ghz P4, 1 gig RAM). Startup and compile times are comparable, but the Mac version doesn't keep up with my typing as well as the PC does. If I start typing random characters, it actually takes several seconds for the Mac to catch up. On the PC, the keyboard response is close to instantaneous. (I'm trying the same keyboard on both machines.) I do not notice these sorts of keyboard buffering delays on other Mac applications.

Anyone else  noticing similar slowness on the Mac?
