It depends on the version and the type of work you are doing in Photoshop.
Just plain editing (cropping, resizing etc.) it's best to have a large amount of space on the harddrive vs a lot of memory.
If you are repairing pictures (creases, waterstains, missing portions) then the memory and CPU come into play, i.e. harddrive gets less importance. Of the two, make sure you have all the memory your system can use. (Not hold, use.) Then put $ into the CPU.
If you are doing a lot of filter work, memory comes into play even more (the history memory stack becomes bigger and bigger and ...) As in repairing buy as much as your system can use (3g for XP, 4+ for vista, ? for Linux)

Why has installing Photoshop made the population of my picture folders slow down to a painfully slow pace?
Photoshop is a huge memory hog. It requires a lot of RAM in order to run quickly and effectively. You may need to buy more RAM for your computer. Image manipulation does require a lot of memory. What's happening is that Photoshop is running an inventory of all the pics on your machine, if you set the preferences that way. There is a way in Photoshop to set a top end limit on the amount of ram allocated to photoshop, so you can do other things while it's open. I don't recall how to find it, but it's in there. The help files will probably tell you. Good luck.
