=2E..we run the latest update on a new iMac and we have issues with Lion =

as well. AE crashes from time to time and the network performance in=20
comparison with other iMacs and Mac Pros is extremely slow. Not all the=20
time but most of the time.
I tried to downgrade to snow leopard, but this seems not to be an easy on=
