What on earth work do you do involving Photoshop and a 3.2ghz P4 with 1gb of ram?

Btw, not sure if it's been mentioned but if you're having trouble timing your efforts, Photoshop does actually have a build in timer system. At the bottom left of the open document window you will see a small grey bar with a black right arrow next to it. Clicking it will bring up a small list of options, one of which will be 'Timing'. Select it, then run radial blur. It will tell you how fast the last thing you did in Photoshop was executed

Many people out there still complain that Photoshop CS and CS2 are too slow at applying adjustments on large images, some say 7 is faster all round - maybe this is true, maybe CS and CS2 favour newer processors who knows!

Here's a small test to try (unashamed to steal this from a hardware forum )

Download This Photo and follow the below steps after loading it in your Photoshop version.




Have a stopwatch handy to see how long it takes


I got 37secs using a x2 4200+ 2.2ghz/core on CS2 (2gb ram)

Answer to that is very fast
