As Adam stated, CS4 does not use GPU acceleration at all. What's more, its code is simply very sloppy: As a 32-bit program, it cannot use more than about 3GB of RAM - and yet it demands far more physical RAM than it can use. As such, expect a lot of hiccups and slowdowns as well as "Out Of Memory" error messages.
And most GT 220s are unsuitable for use with CS5's MPE GPU acceleration feature due to their use of only DDR2 memory. And even with DDR3/GDDR3 memory on the card, the GT 220 is really only suitable for use with a lower-end dual-core CPU with MPE GPU acceleration enabled: It has only 48 CUDA cores; the official Adobe-certified GPUs have at least 192. And the guide to those "hacks" strongly recommends a GPU with at least 96 CUDA cores (as found in the GT 240) for it to perform better than software-only mode.
So in other words, if you have CS5 and a GT 220 with DDR2 memory on the graphics card, don't bother performing the hack at all - but instead leave it permanently set in software-only mode.
