CS2 is much much slower than 7 to start, I see about 10 to 12 secs
startup time for photoshop 7. Maybe soe cs2 users can post their windows
startup times.
But if you just use photoshop to tweak your photos and not to add people
in etc then once you have tried lightroom you won't use photoshop much
and as you can multitask on these machines you can find plenty of other
stuff to do while you wait.
