When I open a file or close a file in Photoshop a lot of times it takes a lot of time and I get the message "Writing Photoshop Format". Is there a setting that is causing this or a setting that I can set to prevent this from occurring so that the file closes faster or is it necessary and not preventable?

This is probably due to your preference settings. If you have turned on ‘Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility’ in the preferences, Photoshop will render a flat full size preview of your layered files. If you never open these files with any other application than Photoshop, it’s a useless option that only increases the saving time and the file size.
