Is Adobe Flex Builder sluggish on Mac or is it just me?
I run Adobe Flex Builder 2 and Flex Builder 3 (Moxie, Beta 1) on my MacBook Pro (Intel Dual Core Duo 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM) and have noticed that both run sluggishly. When clicking “Run” my app opens with lots of screen artifacts, then I have to close it. If I then switch to run it under “Debug” it will appear correctly. Interestingly, this behavior will then reverse itself occasionally. Also, the IDE will periodically freeze while I’m typing in Code view, then will release (similar to keystrokes being buffered while it’s working on something else). It’s the most annoying thing.
In contrast, when I run the same two versions of Flex Builder in Windows XP under VMWare Fusion, they run without a hiccup.
I’m curious if anyone else has noticed this problem. Let me know.
