Re: Dreamweaver is a total dog!!
Install the 8.02 update, turn off cloaking and design notes. I would suggest to turn off site synchronization and site cache as well. It can be done on a site by site level. It isn't too bad after that! In my opinion, if you only use Code View and never take advantage of the visual tools DW isn't better than HS+. But it's pretty much a matter of tastes.

Yes, RAM is your main issue. Windows barely runs well on 500mb - add some server apps and you are likely running mostly from the swap file, which is ordrs of magnitude slower. RAM is fairly cheap these days, so go for as much as your machine will accept - 2gig is great.

RE: Dreamweaver is a total dog!!
Doug...I think your problem is not any one application...but the combination of apps you have running concurrently. While computers are capable of running a lot, when you have apps that are designed to run on their own machines (i.e. CF on a web server, SQL on a db server, etc) you are looking at large complex apps that use a lot of real estate...both CPU and memory. Unless you happen to have your machine on steroids, you are going to have issues. What you should do for a development environment is just set up a separate server for that. It doesn't even have to be a beefed up production level server...I have an older 1.8 with 256mb running MySQL and CF for development and even a local mail server. The other thing that is good about doing it this way is that you can then have an exact dupe of your production environment and access it the same way you would access your production environment. You working machine is also more likely to develop issues because you are adding and removing software, surfing the net, email, etc...so having your development environment isolated from this is a smart thing to do as well. Less likely that you will lose your work that way. It's also more efficient to do backups of a separate server than to try and do parts or all of a working machine.

Doug, Admittedly DW is not for everybody. That said, DW code view pretty much is HS w/ code collapse other actually useful goodieshttp://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/productinfo/features/ .. Is there a DW8 feature that you thought might make DW compelling to use from time to time? For instance, last I heard DW has CFC support that HS might not. And then of course there is always CFEclipsehttp://www.cfeclipse.org/ .. btw ... just curious what type of CPU and memory you were running DW8 on?

Re: Dreamweaver is a total dog!!
My findings as well. I have a 3.6GHz and 1 Gb of RAM. I went back to HS after about a week. Too much overhead.

Arg!!! /VENT Well... you could always move to WebSphere Developer Studio (WSAD) for a while. After that Dreamweaver will seem downright peppy. I use WSAD on both a 1,200 MHz, 2Gig of Ram laptop and on my personal Dual-Opteron 252, 3 Gig of RAM machine - Dreamweaver is significantly faster on both machines. Of course neither are anywhere near Homesite+ which runs just fine on my old 800 MHz, 256 Meg of RAM machine. ;^) Of course I still have them all installed. Bottom line is that more features means slower processing - use the least tool you can for the job at hand.
