I see something of a theme here.  Photoshop's too slow[0], X11's too
slow[1], etc.  Maybe your Mac is just ancient?  Or, possibly, the images
you're working with are somewhat large?


[0] It is something of a beast, but if you can express what you need to
     do in the form of "Actions", you can set them up, point Photoshop at
     a pile of images, and let it grind overnight.
[1] Which gave me something of a double-take.  X11 startup time has been
     nearly imperceptible on every Mac I've used since my blue-and-white.
