I had a similar problem with softpc when I was using a
stock mac II. I now have a mac IIci with 128k cache
and radius GX video board. With this and the new verson
of the program (1.4) made the difference night and day.
The cache is most helpful during computation intensive
operations or compilations that go to ram disk. The
radius GX is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Everyone should get one, for ~$700 I have a machine
that can draw as fast or faster than a iifx. Scrolling
in Pagemaker that used to take 20 seconds now is less
than 5. Seconds may not seem like much, but as you work
with larger applications, you will see larger improvements
in speed.
