Disabling smoothing at the start of photoshop

[AG.]

Hello. This has been bugging me for a while now. I would like to know how do you disable the "smoothing" option in the brushes panel, so it stays off when I load photoshop?
I have tried creating a new brush with smoothing off, but it just turns itself back on everytime photoshop starts.
I am using CS3.

brush smoothing is connected the the brush preset. turn smoothing off then save the brush.

Tried that. It turns itself back on everytime photoshop starts. Is there another way to disable it?

any adjustments to brush behavior gets reset unless you make a 'New Brush Preset...' in the brush menu. I have this one brush I named 'My Favorite Brush In the WHOLE WIDE WORLD' which is basically just a 500p round brush with 1% spacing, noise, 'other dynamics' with flow and opacity dependent on pressure, as well as smoothing. I had to make it a new preset because photoshop kept overwriting the options, and I had to spend a few seconds re-setting it every time I'd start up photoshop.

and I've never explored this so I'm not too familiar with it, what does brush smoothing do?

Yeah, i have tried enabling it and disabling it with some brushes and I really can't see the difference of it on.. maybe it even makes performance slower. Can anybody enlighten us about this?

I can't imagine not having it turned on, I'm sure turning it off improves performance, but it also calculates your stroke in a more 'polygonal' fashion:

The smoothing on does seem to reset in CS3...
