From my experience, you have to find the magic number for yourself. It 
depends on what RAM you have, what plugins you want to run (some use part of 
PS's memory allocation, and some want memory outside), and what other 
programs you might want to run at the same time as PS. With 4GB RAM, I find 
I can now allocate 90% to CS and still use the NeatImage plugin, whereas 
previously (with only 2GB RAM) I had to reduce it to below 60%. And I can 
allow Capture to sit in the background, whereas previously I had to shut it 
down to get CS working reasonably fast.

Adobe can only see a max of 2gb less some overhead (hence the 1.7).  It is
highly recommended that people with around 4gb or more of RAM set their % to
no more than 70%.  The issue is discussed in an Adobe support paper.
