Seems Ram plays a big part in this, just tried it again, with the cpu overclocked to 3ghz and it was 4 seconds faster.
How fast is your Photoshop ?

Anyone got these times regarding a Q6600 not overclocked nor is using a raid setup and using 2gig ram
17 seconds stock, 13 seconds overclocked to 2.7ghz.

Well worth a 400 quid upgrade from a 37 second 4400+ then?
It's worth it for many reasons, not just shaving Photoshop time in half
RAW photo editing is like you're saving a full quality JPEG on a dual core system, it is so fast!

Now you see the reason I want a upgrade is for lightroom performance with large quantities of RAWs in my catalogue.
I am holding my expectations high that browsing through my lightroom database will be smooth and cached fast.
Well it should be! Windows thumbs my Raws pretty damn fast
CS2 is loaded and usable in 8 seconds flat too form a cold start.

My RAWs are never processed outside lightroom. Photoshop opens a full res Tiff which I don't really care about since my production is 90% only touched within lightroom.
Its looking like a worthwhile upgrade as I can't afford to go for a Mac only setup as soon as I like and with my motherboard dying Im gonna have to get it replaced anyway.

Should be a nice upgrade, I did a quick fraps video to show you just how fast RAW images process. The steps in the video are loading the raws in ACR, quickly apply CTRL+U to auto adjust levels then open both in CS2

damn @ the times nowadays, i thought my 16 secs was quick 
Also the same reason i'm upgrading
thats quite bad tbh
sd37p2 now with q6600 does it in 10 secs ,, well happy no other changes
change above time now 8/8.5 secs as from a thread i asked why cpu was changing speed i disabled C1E in bios and now cpu reorts all time 2400 was previously flashing changing to 1600x6 to 2400x9 in cpuZ so even though it kicks in when needed there is a delay waiting for it to u itself to 2400mhz
