fix for InDesign CS5 running slowly
Wednesday 07 July 2010
Finding InDesign CS5 slow when using features such as
Span Columns and
Balance Columns?
Go to InDesign | Preferences | Interface and under Options set Live Drawing to Delayed or Never.
Delayed is the same as CS4. Never will probably make things a bit faster. But Immediate might make ID run slowly on Macs older than a year or two. It is set on by default. This fix should bring about radical performance improvement.
From the help manual:

From the help manual:
Live Screen Drawing Select an option to determine whether the image redraws as you drag an object. If Immediate is selected, the image redraws while you drag. If Never is selected, dragging an image moves only the frame, and then image is moved when you release the mouse button. If Delayed is selected, the image redraws only if you pause before dragging. Delayed offers the same behavior as in InDesign CS4.
