no difference here taking the mmeory up, same 37secs - perhaps it's a setting for people with 1gbram only or maybe single core?

I've got 2gig and it took the memory allocation up from about 900mb to 1.2gig. Having said that CS3 does seem to be quicker IMO so maybe its just better coded and thats made a difference too?!

ah you're using cs3!

SilverPenguin · 31 Dec 2006 at 14:31

Yeah my first test was with CS2 with just %55 allocated.

So CS3 with %70 was a abig improvement!

Just done this on my new C2D setup:

42.51 seconds running CS2 on XP Pro.

Did you raise the memory allocation and then re-load PS before you tried the test again? Changes to preferences dont take affect until you re-start PS.

Ya !

I don't think it matters in CS2, besides my previous before using 70 was 55%

I'm currently running a 3GHz P4 Northwood and in CS2 it gets 1min 36 sec. Going by blueCAT's and Moredhel's times a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook running CS3 might get under 30 sec! It seems pretty crazy that a little plastic laptop can beat a heavy metal desktop by so much - I guess that's progress!

PhotoShop CS3 Beta

(was on battery - doesn't seem like that slowed it down)

Well this temp PC is a little poor.

51 Secs using CS2, 2.13GHz Duo 1GB RAM. Running a 32bit installiation of XP though so I'm hoping that'll come down once I get a 64bit copy of Vista
