Great post! I should be able to test this also on the new Apple Dual 2.5Ghz G5 at work later this week. I was surprised at the ratio of responses in relation to Windows vs. Macs.

Hendrik - you need to check your settings on your 3400+ as my 3200+ runs it in 34 seconds. Your 3400+ should be faster. My 3200+ is a cheap o'l E'machines. Only difference is an extra 1GB of RAM.

Duncan, the extra 1GB might be enough to give it that performance advantage. It is said that if you want to do serious photoshop work, you need 2GB. Having said that, my overclocked P4 system (at 3.2GHz) with 2GB RAM runs it at a laggardly 55 seconds.

I'm puzzled: the image I downloaded reads out as 311.7KB, not 87.6KB, and the resized version is 7.61MB. Is everyone processing the same size of image??

Everyone says that you need lots of memory and this will make it quicker. When I look at the memory used for this process it does not appear that the scratch disk is being used as only about 70 MB is taken up.
