Thanks for the tip. Actually the paging file is on a different physical drive and I have another drive just for PS scratch. The box has 4 hard drives in all, all but one partitioned and that's the startup drive (the fastest IDE drive (10.000 rpm) I could get my hands on at the time of purchase.) Still I find Photoshop CS way slower than PS 7.0.1.
