I must disagree with Mylenium. I see a huge improvement from CS4 to CS6.

While using CS6 full-time last year, I took on some work for an agency that
required me to use CS4 -- and it was painful to time warp back to 2008 like
that.

CS4 is 32-bit, meaning the app is restricted to ~3.5 GB of RAM; CS5 and
above are 64-bit, meaning they can use more RAM, which means you can get
longer previews, and you can say good-bye to the "Unable to allocate space
for a YxZ image buffer" error.

CS6's new global performance cache stores intermediate and final renders in
memory and/or on disk, and it can be a big time-saver, especially while
you're experimenting with a comp. Since Mylenium's post, there have been
two point updates to Ae which have addressed the major bugs with the cache.

It's worth noting that the global performance cache is a set of features,
and that it includes important changes in RAM caching. It is more than just
the persistent disk cache, so you can see a performance advantage even if
you don't use the disk cache.

You will need a 64-bit system to run CS6, and you will need to update all
your plugins. As always, Ae will benefit from lots of RAM. New with CS6, Ae
will also see a big benefit from a fast disk like an SSD for that disk
cache.
