Re A couple of Photoshop speed tips

Although there's no substitute for ram, Photoshop requires a lot of disk space for temporary files (history etc.)For people who have a single partitionned drive,limiting the history function makes sense.I have found that assigning the scratch disk to a secondary non-boot internal drive (if available) also increases performance and keeps fragmentation to a minimum.

It is best not to use the volume that holds the System as a scratch disc. If Photoshop fills it it can vipe out preferences for many applications like Mail and many others. This is a known issue but not much talked about.

Secondly I want to point out a great shortcut to gain multiple undos in PS. Option+Cmd+Z jumps up one history level at the time. This option is what you might loose if you shorten the History levels too much.
