Hi there!

I'll describe my problem as posible and clear.

Whenever i start a new project in Photoshop with resolution higher than 2000px*2000px (300dpi),take some large (200px+) brush (with simple texture) and start to paint in single layer, photoshop start to lag. I make stroke, than i can watch how it draws (takes like a second or two). Same with painter.

Sounds like my hardware can't take it but it's weird because it is not so bad.

Spec:

Hardware:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 @2.5Ghz
- 6Gb of RAM (800Mhz)
- Ati Radeon HD 4870
- motherboard: GIGABYTE ep45 ds4
- power: Corsair 620W

Software:
- Windows 7
- Photoshop CS 5
- Corel Painter 12

If i try to push it: 4000*4000px @300dpi and use brush bigger than 400px, is CPU usage still under 60% and there is still 3.5Gb RAM avaible.

So any idea, what could cause that lag?

Big thanks in advance!
