It’s probably due to the speed of the disc drive. Slow. That’s typical of the little notebooks. More RAM would help, too.

Is the iMac a G3 or a G4? That could be the difference. One thing to check in Photoshop is whether your File Browser is running in the background. I believe it’s in Peferences. That can slow things down.

It’s a G4. I doubt that the File Brower is running, but I’ll check when I go in to work Monday.
