Man of Honour
This spawns off from the previous thread here because the sample image in that is small and the test is pretty defunct now, we have more powerful systems and need a higher resolution sample image!
Downloads
1: Sample image (46.8 MB) (62.9 MB extracted) (Photo is my own, it is not to be hotlinked anywhere outside of OcUK!)
2: Photoshop Action file (simply double click to open with PS then it will be listed at the bottom of your Actions pane)

Start the stopwatch the moment you click "Continue" on the dialogue that pops up and stop it the moment the STOP!!! dialogue pops up.
If there are any changes that need to be made please reply back and I'll update but I think it looks good from here!
Please format results like mine below so it's easier to skim through for everyone interested.
*PHOTOSHOP VERSION*
CS5 12.0.4
*CPU*
i5 2500K 4.3GHz
*RAM & PS ALLOCATION*
16GB DDR3 1600MHz
CS5 set to use up to 10.4GB (71%)
*INSTALL DISK*
Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD
*SCRATCH DISK*
Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD
*TIME RESULT*
21.92 secs
I found that by increasing the RAM allowance for CS5 (Edit > Settings > Performance) the time taken to process drops dramatically. Allowing 55% of RAM use gave me 29 seconds! The time to invest in RAM is here
