Rendering seems to work fine, as before, no difference in speed (and none expected, as rendering is all CPU activity).ħ. It's on the hairy edge of distractingly slow. It's just that I noticed it, and that may mean that it wasn't there before. Trouble is, I never objectlvely characterized the time between switching layers before with this design, so I'm not really sure whether it's acting differently than before. It seems to work once there, and I've been able to move things around at about the same speed as before - the frame rate for that is decent, and possibly a little better than before. Unfortunately, With one of my modestly complex meshes I think there may be some new slowness I'm seeing specifically manifesting as a few seconds lag whenever I switch to different elements in the 3D panel and before the preview and all the other panels update. I did some 3D stuff, including opening some existing designs I have and trying some new stuff. I did some raw conversions, photo manipulation, Liquify, Lighting Effects. I checked all the Performance settings, and everything's enabled (Advanced mode, OpenCL, etc.).ĥ. This is a few tenths faster than before (3.6 seconds). I timed it with a stopwatch and from a cold start Photoshop comes up to the point where the UI is fully displayed iin 3.4 seconds. Photoshop CS6 subjectively seems to come up a little faster.

I did some before/after benchmarks, and after the restart the display performance is slightly better (e.g., 1% or 2%).ģ. However, upon closing the installer the Catalyst Install Manager retried the installation of that component and it ultimately succeeded.Ģ. I encountered an error where the Microsoft Installer crashed during the update - this hasn't happened before with a Catalyst release.
