I'm still seeing the slow (30+ second) launch times that I first noticed with ConceptDraw Pro 7.1 (see post #24 in this old thread). This is on my Mac Pro 3.0GHz Quad Xeon with 4GB RAM running Mac OS X 10.4.10. I'm now running ConceptDraw Pro 7.4.

When this long delay is occurring, the ATSServer process is pegging one CPU, and I'm seeing 100+ MB/sec of memory access. I have a LOT of fonts installed (502 according to Font Book), and I'm guessing that this is the cause.

Is anyone else with a similar number of installed and active fonts seeing this?

Yeah, but I have the standard fonts installed only.

Our developers are fixing this issue. You are right - the reason too many fonts installed

Do you have any idea when this fix will be completed and released? I'd like to use CD7 for a new project, but if this issue remains unresolved much longer I'll probably just use OmniGraffle Pro 5 instead.

I just installed the new ConceptDraw 7 Pro version 7.6, and the launch time is nearly instantaneous now! This is a TERRIFIC improvement. Thanks!!!

I need to draw some vector gauge images next week, and I'm now planning to use CDpro 7.6 for this. I'll post if I have any issues.

Thanks again.
