Hmmm...5-6 times per day is a LOT compared to other softwares. I run Photoshop and LightWave every day and if you think Vue is a hog think again...LW eats cpu and RAM for breakfast and the more power you throw at it the faster it spits it out. :) It seems that Vue crashes a lot less on my side than yours...in a week it went away 3 times and this is a LOT considering I run other apps for 24h/day and they crash once a month or so. I can't see Photoshop crashing and having bad code as I run it with as much as 1Gb of swap files while manipulating heavy graphics and it never crashed on me. Cheers!
