Basic editing in ACR, just applying contrast, clarity, etc. and opening 10-15 files in PS takes 30-40 sec to open.. I'm wondering if there's anything that would cut that time in half.. I tried couple of my friends ( little better specs then what I have ) and the improvement is 3-4 sec. which is not much..
Two different areas there.
"Basic editing in ACR, just applying contrast, clarity, etc"-- That's CPU and GPU (and GPU RAM), depending on which filters you're using, as well as how much RAM you've allowed PS to use to hold images. Check PS documentation to determine whether each filter/process you're using relies on the CPU or GPU. Do you have at least 16 gigs of RAM? Then make sure you've allowed PS to reserve as much as it wants and still leave enough for the OS to operate in the background.
If you have 32 gigs of RAM, setting half of it as a ramdrive and using that for scratch will do a lot--but be sure that's where your bottleneck is. Check process monitors while working to see if it's your drive activity (particularly to the scratch drive) or CPU activity that's maxes out.
"opening 10-15 files in PS takes 30-40 sec to open." The only way you're going to speed that up substantially is to have the images already loaded into some kind of RAM. You might ease the pain if your motherboard can take an m.2 SSD and then pre-load all the files you're going to need to that drive before you begin working (go eat a cookie while it's loading).
