Large files slowing me down?

hi [i've tried onto apple discussions forum on past week, reason page saying old url - if go there main support page. else find this?]

i'm making animations in ps6 extended using timeline.
of files bit hefty5 or 6 layers deep - using smart filters [?forgot name?] , making computer go slow [i have 8gb ram , 1067mhz].

wondered if might caused many files going backwards , forwards in engine room ... , defray necessary....??

understand mac defrays files 10mb ... these 60+mb files left out.

think need defray prig this?

don't have else running @ time, way.

many thanks

of files bit hefty - 5 or 6 smart object files deep - , making computer go slow [i have 8gb ram , 1067mhz].

wondered if might caused many bits of info going backwards , forwards in engine room ... , defrag necessary....??

understand mac defrags files 10mb ... these 60+mb files left out.

starts seize after i've been working on files ... going down deeper , deeper smart objects [eg body smart object arms going smart hands going smart fingers, etc]

think need defrag program or there cache somewhere can empty when going gets rough, perhaps?

don't have else running @ time, way.
