velocity engine?


Recommended Posts

Is VW 9 optimized to work with Power Mac G4s? I ask because, since getting a G4 here in the office, I've noticed dramatic speed increases in programs (photoshop, cinema 4d) that are optimized for work with the G4 chip's velocity engine. It would be nice if VectorWorks was as well.

I am guessing from my experience that VW 9 is optimized for the little known "leisurely engine" subprocessor.

Seriously, VW 9 is noticably slower on my G4 than was VW 8.5. I use VW on both G4 and G3 (no Altavec) computers and notice only very slight differences in speed. VW 9 has some good points, but speed is not one of them.
