If you are experiencing any troubles with your Photoshop CC performance it is possible that the issue is due to external factors such as corrupt fonts, third party plugins or utilities. Photoshop allocates memory up to the limit you set in Memory Usage Preferences, then reuses that memory. It won’t release the memory until the OS needs it, or you exit Photoshop. You can close other applications running in the background as well as images that you are not working on to increase efficiency. If the value is below 100%, it indicates that if you allocate more RAM to Photoshop, the operations will perform faster. Once your Memory Usage limit is set, check the efficiency status in either the Info Panel Efficiency readout, or in the bottom left corner of any of your open PSD files. It does little use to run Photoshop at a faster speed if everything else slows to a snail’s pace and you loose work to a system crash. Photoshop may be happy, but your computer may crash or freeze. The result will slow down the entire computer – not good. If the Memory Usage is set higher, the Operating System (OS) of your computer will start competing with Photoshop for the remainder of the RAM. Its memory behavior is identical to Photoshop CS6 (and CS5, CS4, etc.). If Photoshop is taking more than 20 seconds to load something is wrong with your system. Normal launch is under 7 seconds, and with an SSD it’s under 2 seconds. Photoshop CC does not have increased memory usage over Photoshop CS6. Keep in mind that clearing History when Purging will delete all your current history states and you will not be able to undo your latest actions. It will eliminate the extra image data that is consuming your RAM.
