Thank you for this answer. I don't know if it helps much though.
I wasn't saying I use Photoshop for 3D. I'm saying my computer is tailored to handle very intense 3D applications which run very smooth. Whereas Photoshop isn't nearly as intensive on the overall computer processor. Thus, shouldn't Photoshop run better than it is? It's something specific to this application. It's the only one that runs this way. I use Flash all the time for work and it runs fine, as well as Illustrator. After Effects is snappy as ever, JUST Photoshop is the leggiest.
