I was a beta tester for GF and as far as I know Print pro uses the ram overhead allotted to PS so you might try increasing the ram allocation in PS since you've still got a couple hundred to go. The bottom line though, is that rendering a large file from print pro does take a long time. We discovered that things go a little better if you did your initial compression with the lossy choice even though this seems counter intuitive. You should have seen how slow the beta builds were. - Turn off HTML mail features. Keep quoted material short. Use accurate subject lines. http://www.leben.com/lists for list instructions.
