Want to speed up your Photoshop or other application ? Make a RAM disk according to the OS help instructions online or from your drive. Copy the application and any source files to the RAM disk. The system treats it like a physical drive. Do your chore. Copy out the work to a physical medium often. In case the system fails. Because Application calls to itself in RAM disk are faster than calls to mechanical hardware things work faster and smoother. you can set it up so it appears on boot and also have the apps there too. Want to browse the web but empty the cache files for good on shut down? Put whatever browser caches or any other unwanted files into RAM disk. When you shut down they are gone with anything else in RAM.
