About 3-4 months ago, there was a thread where people posted their times for doing some manipulations in PS on varying platforms. I have tried in vain to search for this thread, but I keep coming up empty. By chance, do any of you have this thread bookmarked, and if so, could you please paste the URL? I wanna see how my G5 is stacking up. thank you.

EDIT:
Ok, since CS2 is out, I want to see if numbers are different. I hope isyukri doesn't mind me resurrecting his thread (please let me know if you do), but here goes. Please paste your results from CS2 (since CS1 was covered quite well in the first post linked by Olnibrcn).

Here are the steps:
This is the test image:
1. Left click on the image and save it on your desktop, it is 87.6KB size.
2. Open image in Photoshop and resize "Width" to 2000px, the "Height" will change automatically, then click "OK".
3. Click "Filter - Blur - Radial Blur".
4. Set "Amount" to 100. Then select "Spin" and "Best".
5. Do not forget again to select "Best", if you choose lower, the processing time will be shorter and you will not believe speedness of your system 
).
6. Be ready with the stopwatch. Click "OK" along with start button of your stopwatch.
7. Record the time needed until the progress bar in the lower window of Photoshop disappear.
8. Report the time in seconds along with a bit information of your system.
Tips:
Closing another programs and let Photoshop the only program running will speed-up processing time considerably.
