I feel you.
Here’s a tip: don’t let PS go above 33% of RAM.
Happy to try it, but could you explain the reasoning? When I tested PS last night with those settings I had no other applications running (normal background processes, of course). My thought was to give PS as many resources as possible to really see it fly.
It’s very simple. If you set PS to maximum it starts taking RAM from the system. If the system doesn’t have enough RAM, it starts swapping PS memory. The end result: PS acts like badly.
Starting with Mavericks, OS X is using the entire RAM for everything: app caches, file caches, etc.

Just installed. Noticeably slower - irritatingly so. I'm on an iMac with an i7 and 32 gigs of RAM.
*Edit: Should mention I'm letting PS use 70% of my RAM. Come on guys.
