I've been using this setup on my 2009 Macbook Pro with 4GB DDR3 RAM and never had any lag using Lightroom. I do lots of nondestructive multiple smart object layering in photoshop so it hangs sometimes for a bit when saving (mostly because these files sometimes get to be about 600mb before I shrink them). But apart from that it's been very smooth for me. No noticeable problems []

I use Photoshop CS4. Photoshop Elements I've only worked with real old versions so I can't really say anything about the newer ones that are out there [*-)]
