Shutting InDesign down and then restarting it results in those nice 10 seconds once again. Īpart from this improvement, InDesigns kind of »first start-up of the day« nevertheless tends to take those enormous 3+ minutes again – this is after the computer has been newly started. Anyway, shutting down InDesign and then restarting it prompts me with start-up time of about 10 seconds. So, using my font manager (»MainType«) I just tried to reduce the number of »activated« ones to a minimum, which left some 130 of them still active for some reason. (Note that SSDs don't require any defragmentation since there is no mechanical overhead to access non-adjacent disk sectors!)Īs fonts are concerned – yes, plenty of them here. And if you do still have an old, antique spinning disk drive, make sure you defragment early and often. These days, that is probably the most dramatic and cost effective way to boost your computer's performance (including application start-up time and font enumeration). (3) In conjunction with (2), if your computer is still using a conventional magnetic rotating disk drive, most seriously consider updating it to an SSD (solid state disk). If you make changes (adding, deleting, replacing) to the fonts, these applications do a full font enumeration which could account for an awful lot of disk and CPU activity before the applications are ready to use. Part of Adobe application initialization is spent enumerating all the fonts you have installed on your system. (2) Check how many fonts you have installed on your system. (1) For the first time after updating to a new version of these applications, they create new sets of preferences and configurations, possibly converting them from earlier versions of the same applications.
