I just got a new computer with quad core 2.6ghz and 6 gigs of RAM. I'm running 64bit vista.
I work on large map files with thousands of text objects and generally speaking, I've not been satisfied with Illustrator's speed...and I think it's because Illy is not using even close to the available RAM. With nothing running, Windows will be using about 16% of system RAM. With photoshop (64bit) running, 80-90% of ram is being used. With Illustrator, only about 30%.
How can I allocate more RAM to Illustrator? Is it helpful to mess with the paging file? Any other suggestions to improve illustrator's speed would be helpful!
Thanks!
