Windows 15.2 This brings up a question that I have been curious about. How much Ram do the Layout Designers suggest having?

I'm seeing fairly consistent behavior out of the Allegro GUI by it pausing on certain commands, most repeatable is the Display/Color. The first time you invoke this it takes around 7 seconds for it to appear. Subsequent picks of it brings it up immediately, but NOT if some considerable time has passed, say 30 minutes. It is as if there is some sort of caching going on in the UI. I've seen this in both 15.2 and 15.5 and I'm running on high performance Precision 370 and 670 Dell's with lots of memory(>2Gb), so one might assume hardware isn't the limiting factor. I'm wondering if this is common performance for other users. If so, please reply. Otherwise, I'll submit a SR to Cadence. Thanks for your help, Nolan Watts
