If hardware upgrades aren't out of the question, I would probably start with that. More RAM is probably the best you can do for substantial performance gains, though a better CPU will certainly help if your computer is a bit older. If you can get as much as 4 or even 8 gigabytes of RAM, performance should increase a good deal. Anything past 3.5GB will need a 64bit OS though.
Laptops generally have much worse performance and lower grade hardware than desktops, so for serious Photoshopping I would recommend working on a desktop if at all possible.
You may see some smaller returns if you're pretty good about making sure the program you're in is the only thing running at the time. For Windows machines, it's not foreground programs that I typically find to be pervasive, but all those background tasks.
To clean those up, click Start, Run, and enter "msconfig". Go to the Startup tab and disable everything. You can pick and choose on the list if you like, but I tend to click Disable All just because if something needs to start up with the computer it'll end up setting itself back on the list very shortly afterwards anyway.
---
How bad are these performance losses, by the way? Also what are the specs of the system you're having trouble with? surprised

Suupa Ooo Ooo!! *raises hand* I have a question!! Pick me Pick me! 4laugh On my laptop a small white line appeared going through the display, its a new laptop about 6 months old..so not brand new but pretty new...its a hp tablet pc. I am very careful with it so dont think it got cracked but its not leacking lcd behind the glass or anything..could it be phosphourus burn through? I heard this can happen rarely but still does happen to lcd. To replace my screen it'd only cost me about 70.00 so should I just do it or is there a way to fix the white line? It only really shows up on bright backgrounds like gaia google, otherwise its unnoticeable. The line has gotten bigger though than when I first noticed it!
I'd definitely say it's some sort of defect with the screen. gonk The screen doesn't sound to be physically broken, and burn-in wouldn't show up in such a way. It could be "stuck" pixels, but those are incredibly rare, especially for a whole line to show up. I wouldn't say that they're "dead" pixels otherwise they'd be black / black spaces, not white.
Replacing or repairing screens is nearly never worth the price to do so. However, I can say that since your computer is only 6 months old, you should certainly have a warranty with wherever you bought it from, and should most definitely have a manufacturer's warranty as well. If you can handle not having the computer around for a little bit, I'd send it off for repair or replacement asap! 3nodding
