First go to preferences, this is the settings you should have in order to make sure you have as good performance as possible:
go to "preferences"
on the interface menu, make sure you do NOT have "enchanted brush ghost" selected. Pick only "brush ghost". This increase the performance a lot by some weird reason.
This is the preferences for painter 12, so if some of the options is not available in your version, then you can just skip it.
If you work on a painting and you notice that the black on the canvas is actually not 100% black, then you should go to CANVAS> Color Management Settings.
If the "default RGB profile" is set to "sRGB IEC61966-2-1 withBPC" then you just change it to "noBPC" in the drop-down menu. "BPC" stands for "Black Point Correction" and is a setting you should only use if the drawing/painting is going to be printed (like a comic page for example). But otherwise, you won't need it. This is very common thing that people stumble upon with Corel that they don't know how to fix. So now you know it already.
After that, you go to "preferences", then go to "performance", if you have an external harddrive connected to your computer, select that drive as "scratch drisk" (you can do this with photoshop as well).
If you have more than 1 multicore, then lower the number. Do NOT set multicore on max, since that will make Corel lag if you run other programs (such as iTunes) in the background.
Also uncheck the boxes "smooth objects when zooming" and "increase drawing speed when zoomed out".
Another thing that is good to know is that if you work on a picture where the file is on a external harddrive or USB, it can also make the program lag. So make sure that all your .RIF-workfiles are on the computers own harddrive.
I don't remember if you said which version of Corel you have, but if you have Painter 12, then you can create your own "brush pallet" by simply holding shift and then click+drag the selected brush onto the workspace. Having a brush palette is very handy since you won't need to use the drop-down menu for the brushes. In older versions, you only need to click and drag.

PROTIP: if you wanna use the blender to create for example highlights on a separate layer, make a layer and fill it with pure black, then set it to "SCREEN" - doing this will make the black invisible (just like multiply/gel makes white invisible). So now you can add highlights and blend it on a separate layer without having to set it to "pick up underlying color"!
