Creating a new, blank document--even a small one--takes a very long time
on my otherwise speedy system. When first opening PS, it can take 15-20
seconds. After PS has run for a while it is faster, but still takes 10
seconds. I notice it took some time in CS2 compared to earlier versions,
but thing seem to be going downhill... Does anyone else see this?

at least, going downhill is faster than going uphill

Ok. Machine is XP Pro on a 2.4GHz dual-core Intel system; 3GB RAM; 1TB
disk on two drives - PS temp space on a separate physical volume from
the system and paging volumes. I have a separate profile for PS work
that reduces other tasks to the minimum I could come up with.

That's a good suggestion. I've avoided erasing it so far because of the
hassle, but I'll try it - it is the profile I set up for CS2. The fact
that the CS2 profile works with CS3 may be masking a side-effect of
using it...

Thanks.
