RE: [Digital BW] Re: OT - PS7 Very Slow Loading

2003-06-16 by Jake Hellbach

I think the problem maybe something most of us (including myself) have
failed to do when installing PS.
Photoshop is a huge memory hog as we all know. And it really doesn't like to
use the same drive as the operating system is on for its scratch space.
For PS to operate efficiently it wants to have a separate hard drive or if
you only have one drive, a second partition for its scratch space.
Also defrag your drive as that makes it use the largest contiguous space for
working in.
