Here... try this in PS CS.

This will make your doc sizes MUCH smaller, thus taking less resources to run them. It was just released recently by Adobe. Here's what they have to say about this plugin:

"The Adjusted Refresh plug-in addresses the time it takes to visually preview some filter updates in Photoshop CS. This plug-in reduces the size of the Photoshop image tiles. This causes the display to redraw in smaller pieces, reducing the time it takes to see the updated preview. The Adjusted Refresh plug-in will also reduce the initial scratch disk usage after launching Photoshop. Note that overall performance may be reduced for users with multiple processors or more than 1 Gigabyte of RAM."

Installation

Windows:

1. Exit Photoshop CS.

2. Copy or move the Adjusted Refresh.8bx plug-in from your download folder to Program

Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Extensions.

Mac:

1. Quit Photoshop CS.

2. Copy or move the Adjusted Refresh plug-in from your download folder to Applications/Adobe

Photoshop CS/Plug-Ins/Extensions.
