If all you are running is a 3mp digital P&S saving everything as JPEG, then you don't need all the jazzy computer upgrades. I don't really have much issue with how CS runs, although I did a fairly major computer upgrade quite recently. I tend to just accept that the tool is what it is. I don't pretend to know more (or anything) about programming than the people who write the stuff, so I don't have any assumptions about how efficiently or inefficiently a particular piece of software is.
