I've tried restarting both computer and PhotoShop to no avail.
If the version of Photoshop you're running is 32-bit (CS3 and older), 4 gigs of RAM is all it can use. Also, if you're still running CS2 or CS1, it's running those in emulation mode (Rosetta), which is another source of slowness. The solution to both problems?
