| Reducing the number of plugins will reduce startup time but not processing time. In preferences, you can set the amount of memory available to PS and the number of cache buffers. More memory available may improve performance a little. But in general, the Windows version of CS2 is a dog when it comes to speed. CS1 was much faster. |

Probably only on opening the program.

| If you have at least 1GB of RAM and ONLY if you have 1GB of RAM you can activate the biggertiles plugin. I don't remember where it is exactly but you can do a search for bigger tiles in windows. you deactivate it by removing the "~" in the name of the plugin. Then restart photoshop with a stop watch in hand... |

Memory is the biggest factor for speed on PS. Also, I remember during the install that PS detected more than 1 physical hard drive and recommended that PS use C: drive for one thing and D: drive for another. Can't remember exactly, but I think it was D: for Cache / Swap File.
This was years ago in, I think PS 6.

reducing the number of History states will also speed it up some. I use to have it set around 40, but dropped it to 25. Depends on how far back you want to go to fix "mistakes." I heard a recommeded 10 to really speed it up. This is in the preferences.
Using different drives for the cache speeds it up as well. Main program on your main drive and then caching on a fast (Firewire, USB 2 or internal (preferred)) drive will help also. As long as that drive has a good amount of space to cache on.

Adobe info on the bigger tiles plugin config. It mainly helps with image processing and redraw rate.

Well I 'activated' the plug in... i think it works..... but it is hard to tell. It seems a fair bit fast though. Thanks for the link

my main recommendation is the scratch disk facility. I've got a 12gb drive sat here just for that. Helps no end.
