I too had this problem of my system getting slower when using transparencies. I was earlier opening a 4900x4900 pixels document. Now I just start with 500x500px and after the artwork, I save it as eps10 file. Only after this, I scale up the artwork to 4900 or whatever bigger dimension I want. But when I try to export, it sometimes complains memory problems. When this happens, I save it as a new eps10 file and open this new file in photoshop and save it as JPG and then delete the new eps10 file.

I dont know if there are better ways to handle memory issues.. Also I dont know if my workflow is ideal.. I would love to know better ways..

One thing which might help speed up your PC would be typing %temp% in the "Run" command. This would open a folder with temp files and just try deleting what all you can from this. Also try uninstalling unused programs, this will help to some extent.


I don't know if it helps any, but when you've finished your file and are about to save the JPEG preview, try saving the vector file and killing the program completely - not the computer, just the software (Illustrator, Inkscape whatever), then open up your software again and go to Save for Web. Killing and restarting the software resets the scratch memory - I just learned that yesterday. I used to restart my computer when all it takes is actually restarting the program.

You can see how much memory has been released if you hit ctrl + alt + del and find your software on the list of open processes.
