    Layer Comp to Files in CC 2014 is SLLLLOOOOOWWWWW

      I updated to CC 2014 from CC when it first was announced but today was the first time I have had to export out my site design via the Layer Comps to File Script that I have loved to use for years. It has saved me so much time when I am working on sites with 20-40 pages. That being said I was startled by the slow speed I noticed instantly with CC 2014.

       

      So I figured I'd do a little test:

       

      My Machine:

      15" Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.8.5

      2.6GHZ intel Core i7

      16GB 1600mhz DD3

      256GB SSD

       

      Using the same 287MB PSD with 24 Layer comps - here are the times to save out each layer comp as a JPG at 8 quality using the script.

       

      CC: 31 Seconds

      CC 2014: 3 minutes and 7 Seconds

       

      All my performance settings are identical between the two so I have no idea how it can be a 2.5min difference. I almost feel like I should just default back to CC at this point.

       

      Has any one experience this same thing, or have any clue why CC 2014 it is going so slow compared to CC?

       

      EDIT:

      After chatting with a fellow designer, we came to the hunch that it might be do to the new Smart Object Layer comps feature in 2014. Even though I am not using the functionality in my PSD, I would guess PS needs to make that YES/NO check on each and every smart object through out my PSD. I would guess I have 20 or so smart objects. Which I would assume would slow down the process a bit, and when you have 24 times instances of making multiple checks it could add up quickly...

       

      Thanks!
