Subject: Alternative to layered .psd import?

Bringing up a point from Roei's thread - I'm currently working on a project
importing lots of layered drawings from artrage 4. I export them from
artrage as .psd's and can import them ok, but the performance overhead of
multiple layered .psds isn't great. Are there any other files that can be
imported to AE with layers as a composition? Why doesn't AE support layered
.tifs? I tried converting them in photoshop but no luck. It seems like a no
brainer, as the performance demands of layered .psds are pretty high. I
just want a basic, layered high quality image file to work with, that
doesn't need its own rendering translation engine per layer. That being
said is there any advice or alternative from folks who routinely work with
lots of .psds?
