Yes, one thing to remember though-
It is important to set a maximum time for this "intensive action". So
that, on REALLY slow computers, it doesn't appear to hang while you are
testing.

I'd recommend starting a timer, doing something intensive, stopping
the timer, and checking the speed of the operation. Processor speed
and memory are handy to know, but there are countless things that can
slow a machine down. The same app on the same machine can run slower
depending on the environment at the time. So, if you test the actual
conditions when your app launches, you'll get a better result.
2 cents,

Is there a way to test with lingo (or any other way) if the computer
is slow or not? Like how much MHZ and Ram it has?Because I have some
effects that I want to skip if the computer is slow, since they take
too much time....
Thanks for any leads....
