I have a project with many many files in it and AS8 is lagging, it happened before so i guess it's "normal".
I was wondering, is there an option to make AS use more ram or space on the drive so it won't lag?

Try turning off the auto-save feature in the preferences menu. This can help somewhat with performance.

Thank you, that helped a little.

you can also go into the display quality and turn off the things that you don't really need to see in the workspace while you're editing like shape effects and smooth options.

Yes, ASP lags terribly with large files, 8 got better, but still slow.

I did that but it wasn't a significantly change, it improved a little when i turn off the auto-save option.
I also turned the visibility off for some objects like backgrounds but i didn't notice any change.

AS been slow since the introduction of v6, v5 was much much faster.

I think Mike made an effort to make as8 faster, seems faster to me at least!

You could consider breaking up your files into scenes, if you have a longer animation, especially with a large amount of assets/characters. That way you could have only the necessary assets/characters in each file and edit them together afterwards in your video editing suite of choice.
