I’ve noticed that when I try to use either my mouse or Wacom Intuos tablet to draw with really fast, my strokes become quite edgy. I’ve tried to change various settings in Photoshop 7 randomly without any luck, so I could really use some help on finding out what could cause this.

Here’s an example of what a circle can look like if I draw it really fast:

The solutions are a) don’t draw so fast or b) get a faster computer. The program has a lot of things to do between the times that it checks where the mouse is. If you draw really fast, then you will wind up forcing it to guess where the mouse was a lot of the time, resulting in your edgy image.

Slow down, and you will be fine.
