Wording on thread title suggests you are using Windows.

Nobody's answered the question. At least come up with a fair test envronment for doing the comparison.

I don't have a test but i can tell you this.
Loading a large image 1-4 gigs into the filter gallery or Liquify on the fastest Mac available has taken me as long as an hr when only 1/2 - 2/3 are loaded and this is where I usually quit and avoid adding whatever it is i was going to do, making it unusable.
Another issue I have also noticed is a noticeable slowdown where I have to close the image and restart PS8 to get normal speed back. This is not due to history states saved as it does not happen all of the time in a days session. It acts like a memory leak.
I have seen that when I quit after seeing a image trying to load in the filter gallery or Liquify that it does load faster after the restart. Not much, but some.
Bottom line is this, If your images are in the gigabit size, For me, PS CS 8 is Unusable when it comes to Liquify or Filter gallery.

G5 Dual 2.5 gigs ram 80% to PS OS X.3.2 No other apps running & I have tried other ram settings from 50% - 90% without it fixing the issues.

I wonder if "Filter Gallery Slow" would have yielded more responses.

[zoozx@adobeforums.com]

Maybe, but probably not the right ones :)

I forgot to mention, I have a separate, designated 110 gig scratch disk, Not on the same disk as the system.
