I have a reasonably fast computer with Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU, 4 GB ram, Seagate 7200 rpm drive. But when I open Photoshop it takes about 15 seconds to open and additional 8 sec to become responsive.
I want some suggestion to make the launch faster.

3Buy an SSD. It will open much faster. Here lemme try.– Dan RosenstarkCommented Apr 7, 2011 at 4:53

@kaykay, I know, that's why it was a comment, not an answer. BTW, what operating system are you running?– Dan RosenstarkCommented Apr 8, 2011 at 7:24

Check your 'Scratch Disk Settings' in Edit > Preferences
The primary scratch disk drive should have decent amount of free space, add some secondary drives as scratch disks
It should run faster now !!!

it will not help in making the launch faster. because i have already make the scratch disk on the RAM through ramdisk. it will only help after the photoshop load and it need more memory then the memory assigned to photoshop– kaykayCommented Apr 7, 2011 at 12:06
When using another Adobe Product, Premiere, I've enhanced performance all around by increasing my page file size. See if that helps you.
