Further to Lauren's answer and the comments... I disagree that "a faster machine isn't an immediate priority". If you are regularly opening large PSDs that are generated by other versions of Photoshop, and these files regularly cause time-consuming updates when they are opened -- a faster machine is absolutely a valid priority.

You may not have other business reasons to support the upgrade investment, but if slow Photoshop is wasting your time... well, isn't that reason enough?

You have a few options...


Make your files smaller.
Get a faster machine.
Convert some of or all your text to raster. Nothing to update.
Make sure your fonts are loaded or opened before opening the PSD.
Save As to make sure your copy of the file is in the most current
version of Photoshop.
