How do I set the Scale of my different maps?

Quick question, the map I'm working on is set to 8.5x11" big and after a kazillion layers it often crashes (I save often!). Is that size pushing the limit for normal computers or does no one else have issues with maps that size?

I use Photoshop, so this might be different, but in Preferences I just set the "Limit Layers to:" option at "kazillion-1" and I've never had a problem.

I guess how well your computer reacts depends on the file size mostly, and layers can really bump that up. I have a battlemap in my gallery that's 4800x4800 and I had to flatten about 30 buildings on it into one layer while I was working on it because I was running into trouble. Even having done that, the .psd file is close to 1GB.
