I lately installed on my pc photoshop cs2 a few new plugins, and when I launch photoshop and then go to task manager it says 600,000kb it takes up from my computer memory, IS THIS NORMAL? I mean I can’t work like this it’s very very slow, unless there is some plugin manager etc. that would help for this problem?

Any help would really be apprecited

Plugin filters don’t affect memory usage or speed — they aren’t loaded until you actually use them.

Yes, that much memory might be used at launch, especially if you have a lot of presets loaded (patterns, brushes, etc.).
