You need to get a faster computer.

Buy more memory.

For the computer too.

There is also a handy-dandy tool called AppleJack. It helps clean OS10 machines and might bring some life back into your Mac. Now if you're running Photoshop with 32MB ram, then God help you, but if it's slow and you have a Gig of ram then try the app, it may help you.

You have to run it in Single-user mode, but it does good things, such as repairing permissions, clearing out cache files, things like that that the OS should normally do using its cron files, but sometimes doesn't do.

good tip tonto, what are the specs of your mac? Which model? Send us a screenshot of the About This Mac, or even the system profiler.
