The only time a smaller sensor with the same pixel count is superior to a larger sensor (aka higher pixel density) is when you are focal-length limited.

forget about SSD. I know some people would say but read link below and some other posts after. It is not a clear cut as you think.

And if you are not going to buy the correct SSD now you would not be able to RAID another one in later.
I just bought on huge sale 2 300GB WD Velociraptors for $99 each from Newegg. In Raid my Photoshop opens in 6-7 seconds which is about time the others reported with SSD. But I am not going to run out of space.
If anything get Seagate Momentus XT 500gb or less. It has SSD (better version of SSD actually than most) build in for programs.
I got one for my laptop and it works great.
Another way to go is to get Samsung F4 320gb 7200 rpm drives and RAID them.
These are very fast and very cheap. Only $43 per drive. Get 4 of them in RAID.
Once they make 500GB version I will get 4 of them for storage. These are using very high density platters so access and transfer are fast. 4 in RAID would be awesome. But you need room in your case and enough connectors.

I reasonably recently changed out a WD Velociraptor for a Vertex 2 and the difference in performance is worth the expense IMO. Starting up the PC takes only a few seconds, PS opens almost immediately, much shorter load times in games... everything is ready to go when you are.

Can you post actual times?

Not right now... I'm not at home. Is there recognised "best practice" for timing photoshop startup, or is it a case of watching it with a stop watch?
The Momentus XT is a decent compromise if cash-strapped. I also have one in my laptop and would say it performs better than the Velociraptor did in my desktop (again, no times right now). There are circumstances where the Velociraptor would be faster, but for everyday computing I'd say the XT is a better performer.

Stop watch would do. Double click on the icon or single click on the menu and stop watch at the same time. Once it is loaded with gray screen stop the watch.

ok... will look at it when I get home.
Just timed it a few times on my laptop (Seagate Momentus XT 320gb, Win 7 x64, PS CS5) with results ranging from 5.2 to 5.8 seconds.
