Are you sure that the slowness is because of scratch file accesses? It could just be that working with five 220MB image files at the same time is moving around a hell of a lot of data....
Yeah. How much RAM do you have? And what other applications, background software, do you have running at the same time?
OK....
I use Sysinternals Autoruns just before a PS session, and kill just about everything I don't need, and then reboot to a pretty minimalist system. I can then allocate about 1.6GB to PS out of the available 3GB that Vista lets me see (Windows maps all sorts of stuff to the top of the 4GB address space). Once I start in on the job, there is a lot of disk thrashing going on.
The final image will be about 7000 by 18000 (images are in portrait mode) and will be printed to about 2 feet by 5 feet at 288 dpi.
