like everyone i was psyched about the newest release of mankind’s favourite graphic design applications (at least on this particular planet). though i was, it took me quite a while to move my a** and get me a copy of this baby and now… i am disappointed. no not of the whole creative suite, but of indesign.
seems like they created this version especially for high performance rigs because my good ol’ laptope won’t run it smoothly, and a lot of people seem to have the same performance problem, that occurs when trying to resize or drag things in indesign.
what’s going on? indesign is updating every element, that is being changed on the fly. it’s called live-screen drawing, and needs a lot of power.

well, here’s the solution:

1. go to the indesign preferences (edit>preferences on win, indesign>preferences on osx)
2. click on interface
3. down on the bottom of the interface-setup you can choose the options for live screen drawing
4. change it from immediate to delayed and click ok

that should do it.
now you can at least work in normal speed without the annoying loading and updating times. if not, maybe he can help you:
