The problem is intermittent, seeming to go in long cycles (a few months at a clip), but when it strikes, a 2k file -- or a 100mb one, curiously -- will take upwards of two minutes to open. Also curiously, an open file can be saved and saved again without any performance hit. But saving a new file creates the lag as well, especially loathsome if you're using "Save for Web" a lot.

After September 11, the notion of the “hero” began to rear its head in the public consciousness more and more frequently. The notion served a necessity in a time of national and global crisis to acknowledge those who showed extraordinary courage or determination in the face of danger, sometimes even sacrificing their lives in an attempt to save others. However, in the whirlwind of journalism surrounding these deservedly front-page disasters and emergencies, it is easy to take for granted the heroes who sacrifice immeasurable life and labor in their day to day lives for the good of others, but do so in a somewhat less spectacular setting.
