I used to have the same problems Darrell when I had WDSC on an older PC.
But since I've gone to 6.0.1, with ALL 28 hours worth of downloads of the
latest PTFs for it (I'm not exaggerating. It took me 28 hours over DSL to
get all those PTFs for this for my PC), it runs pretty fast.
This is on both my desktop with 2 gig of memory and on my laptop with 1 gig.
I think if you upgrade the PTFs and if you upgrade your RAM, you will see a
noticeable difference.

Subject: Who is using WDSC, who is using PDM/SEU?
Dale:
We have WDSC on all of our programmers' PCs, and on mine. We all love what
it can do, potentially.
It is dog slow.
Now, it is emphatically possible that we just tried to use it too soon;
perhaps newer PCs with astronomical quantities of memory and huge disk
caches could disabuse us of the molasses in January notion. Whatever that
case may be, most of us, after an initial "it will get better as I learn it"
honeymoon, have reverted to PDM/SEU for at least some things. I don't see
WDSC on screen too much. However, there are features in WDSC that are not
just clones of green screen, and for those it is worth it to have WDSC
taking up disk space.

Question, though, for this panel. How many of you are using WDSC and
how
many are still using PDM/SEU? I can't get my programmers to move onto
WDSC, and it looks like it should be sweet! They say it's too slow and
cumbersome..... and they ARE very fast.
If I did more programming (which I sadly don't have time for), I'd be
doing
a more thorough shakedown myself.
Opinions, please?
