Re: RAW photo heavy on resources?

Preview is still taking about 20 seconds - though its better than
before for individual picture loading. In Activity Monitor it says
Preview is using 150-200mb Real Memory and 300mb Virtual Memory and
about 20% of the CPU. When I load all the photos in Preview at the
same time (the time taken doesn't really matter as I can do other
things) and then switch between one photo and another, its still
taking about 25-30 seconds to bring up the next photo though.
I just opened 20 RAW photos with Preview; they took less than ten
seconds to open all of them and put the previews into the thumbnails in
the drawer. Switching between photos by clicking on the thumbnails
takes less than five seconds.

It must depend on the RAW format then. None of my Canon's CR2 files open that fast in any application.

When I switched to iPhoto 6 its great. No problem at all.

What camera/RAW files are you and Michelle using?
