Oooh! 'Tis a bit slooooow. I've never thought about timing PhotoShop
startup... probably because I've never much noticed it. I only have PS
7 and not CS but I do have Win 2000 on my wheezy 5 year old 1.2GHz AMD
machine. But it does have 1-1/4GB RAM so I'm sure that helps.
First time start on my machine is 8 seconds. That's without loading any
image. Obviously some DLL's get left in memory after shutting it down
since restarting it with a call from BreezeBrowser and passing it a 7MP
JPEG from the 5D at the same time takes only 6 seconds.
Think I'll stay here a while longer. :-)
