Should I upgrade to CS5? Is it faster or more clunky?

On my last generation MBP i'd say cs5 runs noticeably better than cs4 or 3 did. The MBP multitasks cs5 better and doesn't seem to make the machine run as hot.
Workflow, as far ar the UI of the software goes, is a little better overall.

CS5 master collection here, no problems so far, except Bridge crashing now and then at startup.

Nothing major. Runs pretty fast.
No need to upgrade unless you're really having problems with the other CS versions or there's a new feature you really want.

I found CS5 is slower than CS4 when it comes to Flash, Fireworks, & Dreamweaver. I am not sure about Photoshop

Is it true that you can install the Adobe CS products on 2 computers?

I run Photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS3. I don't see any reason to upgrade.
- If you spend a lot of time editing paths in Illustrator, you'll love CS5 over CS3.nb

upgrade has been good-n-fast especially since we were on CS3.
only thing that sorted sucked on the MAC side is having to get a whole new Intel-based machine and having to ditch a perfectly ramped up G5 (PowerPC)—all of which basically doubled the cost of just getting CS5.

I'd say yes if you are in a 64 bit environment and plan on upgrading to 16gb of ram. It'll run 9x faster than in a 32bit OS with 4gb of ram.
