When you try to open a document in Dreamweaver CS5 or CS5.5, it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes for Dreamweaver to open it. Dreamweaver stops responding until the document opens.
Disable Dreamweaver's Resolve To IP Address feature using the instructions for your operating system.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences.
Locate the [REMOTE DOWNLOAD] section in the file. It looks similar to the following:
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=1000
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
At the bottom of this section, add a line that says: resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE
The [REMOTE DOWNLOAD] section now looks like the following:
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=1000
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE

When you open documents that contain remote URI references in Dreamweaver, it contacts a DNS server to qualify each remote URI to its IP address. With some network configurations, it can take several seconds or longer, causing Dreamweaver to become unresponsive until it receives the response from the DNS server. If the document contains one or more invalid URIs, it can take longer to receive the response from the DNS server.
