is 2009 really faster?
just got an email from my var stating that 09 is 65% faster than 2008. if this is true i need to install it asap.
anyone using 09 can corroborate this?

check out our whitepaper library.
uglay, there are a bunch of bloggers reporting on '09. check out
65% sounds too good to be true, but i've not used v2008, so am not sure, but certainly skeptical.

i'd agree with jeff (mowry, not myself).
while some areas might see such an improvement, i seriously doubt that the whole package would. i do know that they've improved assembly speed via something they call 'speedpack', but i don't know what the % is.

jmirisola: updating to 2009 is a huge pita since i have to go through it, have them remote into my computer, download the files for me. take a whole day and another 2 days to get everything straightened out. so i am not doing it unless i am hiv positive that it will be worth it.
i am almost fed up with 08. its such a slow pos, especially in drawings mode. i almost feel like exporting my views to autocad at this point.

i have no issues with speed on '08. unfortunately, i will not be upgrading to '09.

the only place i really have speed issues with 08 is when first launching the program. i did have some problems on an another workstation where 08 would hang for 10-15 seconds multiple times a day but that seemed to be related to a slowly dieing hard drive.
ya, it takes ages to open a detailed drawing on sw 08. also, will sw 09 only run on vista?
