FW Mac slower than PC?

Hi everyone,

I'm a longtime Fireworks user on the PC but I recently switched over to a
Macbook Pro. My new mac far outweighs my old PC in terms of specs but
Fireworks CS3 actually seems to run slower. While it loads up quicker and
renders complex tasks quicker, the little things just seem lagging. For
example on the Properties panel, just clicking on and off objects, I've noticed
an extra delay in the time it takes for the panel to change over to reflect the
new selection. As well, dragging objects around the screen does not seem as
fluid as it did on my PC.

Is this a normal occurrence? Here are my Mac specs:
MacBook Pro
2.4 GHz Cored 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Thanks!

Hi,
I am as well a FW user since version 3 on a PC and now as a Mac users I can't stand using FW CS3. it's a dog and it's a shame. Adobe sure knows about it and doesn't give a dam.
