does anyone noticing a long lag when saving a files in Mac OS X? everytime I
save a file during work it shows the balloon and takes about 5-10 seconds while
on a PC you don't even notice the save command. is ever going to be a overhaul
for the Mac version?

I've not only seen that but fireworks CS3 in general is very sluggish on my
mac. For example, if I have an element selected and click on another element,
it takes about 5-10 seconds for the properties palette to reflect the new
element. Changing other attributes such as font size happens after 4 or 5
seconds as well. You would think by the way it runs (the previous version of
fireworks for the mac was just as bad) I was running a VERY old machine.
But.....I have a very high end machine.....8 core mac pro, 10GB memory, 512MB
Nvidia card, dual 24 inch monitors, an intuos 3 wacom tablet, and about 3TB
(yes TB) of storage.

Anyone else experience these issues?

FW CS3 is acceptably quick on my Core 2 Duo iMac. Try loading fewer
fonts and styles, and unmount any network drives.

I used to use a Mac (G5s), and yes, Fireworks had an annoying panel update
delay problem (not nearly on the order of 5 to 10 seconds, though... more like
1 to 3 seconds) that made it feel like working in tar at times. I never noticed
the save process taking longer than a PC, though. Saving begins to take 5-10
seconds on a PC as well when the file gets big.

As I recall, you could sometimes click a panel to "force refresh" it.

yes, and yes. FW CS3 on a mac is slow and buggy and frankly I do not see Adobe
helping us by fixing issues and updating the product. they will probably
encourage us to buy an update version stating many promising marketing buzz
words and we, in our blindness and stupidity will sheer another pack of dollars
to probably upgrade the entire suite just to notice more bugs and more
incapable products.
I have been using FW since version 2 on a PC. it did what it needed to do.
If you search for technical support on Adobe's site you will find the most
absurd solutions to fix issues like the annoying brush tool, they answer?
"switch it off and use precise cursor". Duh! on the PC side a solution for
appearance issues is to simply "switch of the Aero desktop when using Vista"...
