A customer asked me today for Photoshop performance-tuning guidance, so I took a minute to track down the latest & greatest, most canonical guide from Adobe: it’s “How to tune Photoshop CS5 for peak performance” over on Photoshop PM Jeff Tranberry’s blog. Hope you find it useful.
If you ever get the same question about the video applications, we have a post here for performance tuning for After Effects and Premiere Pro:

This is great info. How about a similar article for optimizing Bridge? It seems that cache sizes are a concern.

Seems to go in cycles not happening for months, then happening on every picture.
