I stripped my iTunes 7.02 of the Intel bits for running on an older mac at home, and it cut down the memory usage by 40% and at the same time lowering cpu usage considerably. To support this expanded development effort, Adobe plans to transition its Apple development process from Metrowerks CodeWarrior to Apple’s Xcode, a high-performance UNIX-based development environment that can support a universal binary wrapper on two binaries- one for systems based on Intel processors and one for systems based on PowerPC processors.Īnd concerning the splitting up of binaries into Intel and Power PC specific versions, I do believe there might be some performance issues to look at. Adobe expects to support both PowerPC® and Intel microprocessors with future versions of its Mac OS applications, including Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop®, Illustrator®, InDesign®, GoLive®, Acrobat® Professional, InCopy®, and other Adobe applications. How does this affect Adobe’s product development plans?Ī. Well, to judge from this blog entry by Mark Niemann Ross, although 14 months old, it seems like Xcode is the tool of choice: Maybe Adobe is using something other than Xcode for Acrobat, like for Photoshop (since Xcode hasn’t been the best IDE available to them in the past).
