I’ve done a search and did not find a solution.
When working in Photoshop CS3 I get a horrible lag on my cursor if I use the space bar to enable the hand tool and move around the canvas with my mouse.
The problem disappears as soon as I use control + space bar and zoom in or alt + space bar to zoom out. However the very next time that I use the space bar to move around, the delay comes back until I zoom in or out. This happens with my mouse or my Wacom tablet. It makes the Wacom tablet almost unusable.

Specs:
Vista32 Ultimate
Intel Quad Core Q6600
4Gb Ram
nvidia 8800GT video card

The Wacom people said, "That’s just how it is for everyone. It’s a problem with Adobe software." Judging from the lack of post on this problem, it makes me think I’m an isolated incident.

Thanks for any help,
Rastus
