I would support what you are saying in the case of say NT/2K or XP but if the user has say 1G of ram installed, a setting of 80% allocated to PS should be fine on the assumption that it is not running other big apps at the same time!
Just the point I was making, Richard, I just did not have an actual percentage in mind, since I am unaware of the system needs, I tend to suggest 75% to 80% as sensible maxima on Mac OS X. Obviously the user's computer's physical memory has a bearing on whether 90% is is too much; it was the 100% I was worried about, as that seemed positively dangerous!
