Only thing that comes to mind is Very large photos, large dpi, large brush….

If thats the case, try working with smaller versions of the file if possible.

also try defragging your scratch disk with something like ‘perfect disk’ and if at all possible, put it on a second physical drive.

File sizes are 6-15M. I generally use 100 pix brush either soft medium or hard. It doesn’t matter if I decrease size of brush, still have same problem.
