I have a reasonably fast computer with Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU, 4 GB ram, Seagate 7200 rpm drive. But when I open Photoshop it takes about 15 seconds to open and additional 8 sec to become responsive.
I want some suggestion to make the launch faster.
3Buy an SSD. It will open much faster. Here lemme try. – Dan Rosenstark – 2011-04-07T04:53:45.553

@kaykay, I know, that's why it was a comment, not an answer. BTW, what operating system are you running? – Dan Rosenstark – 2011-04-08T07:24:21.557
@Yar i am running windows 7 64-bit and photoshop cs5 64-bit – kaykay – 2011-04-09T03:18:27.307
Try 32-bit to see if it's the same result? I hate to say it, it's not what you want to hear but it really is a hardware thing I'm guessing. My last system was clean, had the right settings, and wasn't that far off from your specs, and photoshop took forever. New system is core i5 + SSD. SSD especially makes a huge difference. I don't think there's a magic bullet that can get photoshop where you want it. Even if you cut the time in half it'd still feel like a while. – CreeDorofl – 2011-04-13T04:42:42.233
