Under OS X on the same system, CS3 took 5.9 seconds.

For instance, on a dual quad-core, 2.66GHz Intel Xeon CPU-equipped system with an ATI X1900 XT card, 2GB of RAM, and many hundreds of gigabytes of free hard disk space-the same system on which I tested Photoshop CS3-it took Illustrator CS3 twice as long to launch as CS2 under Windows Vista 10.3 seconds compared to 4.6 seconds. Unfortunately, after a couple of days attempting performance tests, I can't really draw any conclusions. Ditto for the antialiasing presets.Īdobe says it also worked to optimize Illustrator's performance, as well, specifically with respect to screen redraws. The thickness and sharpness settings for custom antialiasing have no units in Flash, you can see the effect each of the settings has as you move the sliders, but in Illustrator, you don't and therefore lack context for the values. I assume that it eventually compares the blocks and eliminates the redundancy. You must set the font embedding for each block individually to embed all the glyphs in a given block, you must click an AutoFill button that copies them to a text field. On the other, it's a counterintuitive, inelegant, inefficient interface within Illustrator. On one hand, there's now interface consistency between the two applications. For Input text, you can specify a maximum number of characters. Dynamic text can be flagged as selectable or boxed, linked to an URL, and have custom character sets embedded. The latter two can be named assigned an antialiasing scheme optimized for Readability, Animation, with a custom detailed with your own thickness and sharpness antialiasing settings or limited to device fonts. In a dialog almost identical to that of the relevant property sheet in Flash, any text block can be defined as Static, Dynamic, or Input. Similarly, Adobe has uncomfortably grafted the Flash text-handling interface into Illustrator. At least you can paste without loss from Illustrator to Flash. Unfortunately, you can't preview the effect the guide positions have on the scaling, which can be quite irritating.

If you define an object as a Symbol, you can flag it as a Movie Clip, set a Flash registration point, and position the 9-slice Scaling guides. Since Flash CS3 handles Illustrator file import much better than the previous version, Adobe has tossed in a few more parameters for the Illustrator file to pass over to Flash. Adobe makes a big deal about Illustrator's improved Flash CS3 integration, but most of that benefit falls in the camp of the Flash designer.
