Why does photoshop cs5.1 take long to start bouncing in my dock in lion?

[rhc99]

Photoshop, along with other applications, take a long time to start bouncing in my dock in lion. Like up to 30 seconds to start bounding while others bounce instantly.

I have a brand new MBP 4gb ram running the latest version of lion.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

CS5 is a very big program so I'd expect it to take quite some time, but on a dual core i5 30 seconds is quite a bit... maybe you need to do a clean install of Lion?

Also, the program may speed up when a update is released with better compatibility for Lion OSX

Ok thanks. Im running the i7 by the way. And it only happens with Photoshop and Cinema 4D. All my other adobe applications run and open perfectly fine.

If I was to do a clean lion install, how might I go about this?

despite other problems I have with Lion, Photoshop CS5 Extended is actually one program that starts instantly, click on it (from App folder as I don't have it on the dock) and appears on the dock straight away followed by the splash screen, and its ready to use within 10-15 seconds on my April 2008 2.66Ghz Core 2 Duo iMac.
