Any1 finding PS Extended CS5 raping your RAM? ive used all previous versions of PS before and ever since ive installed CS5 its ramping up my RAM considerably; even when ive closed documents down none of my ram was being 'reclaimed'. For example just now im working on a 300MB document and had opened and closed others in order to take layers from it however my ram stayed at a steady 7.79GB (out of 8GB) and therefore made my PC kinda sluggish. Only after restarting PS sorted it out, with the same document open my RAM is now at 2.7GB :/

Even firing up any CS5 app takes noticably longer than CS4 too.

X64 Win 7 Pro BTW
 
thanks for the reminder on driver update. new one was just released last week so just had that installed the other day. anyhow that doesnt seem to be the issue. ive enabled OpenGL too. PS is still eating up RAM like no tomorrow. ive now made a habit of saving everything closing it down and reopening :@ for the first time ever ive heard my PC make that 'loop' sound of whatever is playing though my speakers! that only used to happen on my laptops!!!

i have also noticed that even on closing PS down it takes a few minutes - yes minutes for my ram to drop back down to the normal amount. really bizarre.

FYI CS5 does seem to work smoother and some nice tweaks here and there and to be fair ive used that content aware fill and healing brush a few times now editing graphics. Fill is a bit hit and miss tho, however it doesnt makeup for its hunger for system resources. would be nice to knw if any1 else is having the same issue (havent had time to do a proper google yet - i have read a few issues tho)....right now, from what ive been doing i cant see much benefit upgrading from CS4


BTW CS5 master collection is avialable from Adobe for download ;)
