Jaguar is great, and worth the money, but I really don't think it is going to make the speed improvement happen. I think the 80% number might be part of your problem - allocating _less_ might help the rest of the system have enough RAM to do its work too. (I used to have mine set to 80% too and found that the system as a whole (and ps also) worked better when I reduced it to 60%)

You might also check your energystar settings, maybe the PS drive is spinning down in an unusual way.
