Okay is there anything i could do to undo these missteps in Poser 5 on the OSX platform.. If adding more RAM should do the trich i'll buy some more.... If i must resize some other things like the swap file (which i think is irrelevennt with this issue) i will do that.. I notice also when playing with light in only an V3 with some textures, and adding some poses i also see alotta beach balls... ;-( (and okay its off topic.. i think both platforms OSX and XP has its benefits, only in the short time i had my beautiful nice outfit in the form of an G5, i had to reinstall XP twice, to make it run smoothly)
