Every few minutes as I am using Dreamweaver CS3 (under Vista SP1), the program
becomes unresponsive and my processor maxes out (the Task Manager shows DW as
hogging the CPU). I wait for what seems like minutes -- but is probably only a
few seconds -- and I get control again. It happens repeatedly but I have not
timed the intervals between them to see if it is a consistent time. It seems as
thought Dreamweaver is busy doing something but, for the life of me, I don't
know what as it happens regardless if I've made any changes to files or not --
it happens if I just sit there and watch it. Anyone else have this problem? Gord

You using SSI files?
I find that when I enable SSI files in DW it slows it way down.
You might turn off that option if you are using them.

This problem has plagued me since CS3's release. I have three different
workstations, two on XP Pro and another with Vista and it's the same
regardless. If you google for "dreamweaver cs3 slow" you will find lots of
hits, especially with Macs, however I don't have a mac. There is a KB
document that tries to blame your antivirus for scanning all the .js files
that Dreamweaver uses making it slow, however, excluding those files from my
resident scanner never changes anything. Also, Dreamweaver 8 runs like a
champ and I continue to use that on each of my workstations.

I feel rather cheated since I was really wanting to experiment with SPRY on
CS3, however, since CS3 is such a dog, I have never had the chance. Now I'm
looking at alternative AJAX libraries and Aptana instead. Also, they got my
agency's money already for 5 licenses of CS3, but I never OK'd it for use by
the rest of the web team so everyone remains on version 8.0 for now and I'm
currently evaluating CF Eclipse as an alternative. The only thing that was
holding me back before was I occasional use the GUI layout in DW but Eclipse
3.4 has added that feature. I'd have stayed with DW if only CS3 worked.

Where do you disable use of SSI files? I don't use any that I know of but
if there is a setting that lets me make CS3 usable again, I'd give it a try.

Are the included files the correct syntax for where they are used?
In other words- they are not complete html documents?

dw preferences->Invisible items->last choice: render included files i think.
