Are we getting any useful info out of this thread though? If it's a test of the speed of different photoshop versions, we haven't really got the right kind of data. Nearly everyone is running CS2 and everyone's hardware platforms are different.

What we need is someone with PS7 and CS2 to install both and compare both on the same platform

PS, 3mins 30 secs on my aging Athlon (1400MHz :p) with 1gig ram and CS2. I can't decide between either getting a 20" iMac or getting both a Sigma 10-20 and a Canon 70-200 F4...

Exactly. Everyones just trying to beat someone else. Ideally a test of various versions on the same platform and after various conditions would be good. Fresh boot, and after 8hrs of working in photoshop.
 
cs2 is faster and in general newer = better unless your pc/mac sucks and yes it is a pointless e penis thread

A lot of people posting to this thread have clearly only read the first sentence of the original post

1 min 46 seconds, not too bad in my opinion considering i'm running CS2 on a Dell Dimension 4550, 512mb RAM, Intel Pentium 4 2.52ghz processor.
 
35seconds

P4 805D 3.7ghz
1GB Geil @ 720mhz
Windows XP Pro
CS 2

a lot of programs open, might do it when everythings closed!

Would another 1gb help a lot or not worth the money as i use photoshop, illustrator, 3ds max a lot
 
I thought it was an interesting test. Especially as for some people real life tests are more useful than gaming benchmarks. Those dualcore X2's still kick ass. CS2 is obviously faster than earlier versions too.

Dual Core 3.4 D Dual Core Desktop, 1GB RAM, Using PS 7.01 took 1.05 mins. (busy downloading and browsing using FF so I'll retry in a while)
Dual Core 3.4 D Dual Core Desktop, 1GB RAM, Using CS2 demo took 45 secs (now formatting a 180GB HD)

Dual Core 1.83 Laptop, 1GB RAM took Using PS 7.01 took 50 secs.

It may be slow for this test but in the real world that spec is still great for photo editing.

I use Adobe Lightroom on my laptop and it flies through RAW files like a hot knife through butter :)

I reran it with nothing else running.

Dual Core 3.4 D Dual Core Desktop, 1GB RAM, Using PS 7.01 took 50 secs
Dual Core 3.4 D Dual Core Desktop, 1GB RAM, Using CS2 demo took 40 secs

Dual Core 1.83 Laptop, 1GB RAM took Using PS 7.01 took 50 secs.
Dual Core 1.83 Laptop, 1GB RAM took Using CS2 demo took 40 secs.

PS7 seems to be more effected by other stuff running, perhaps its not coded for HT or Dual Cores as well as CS2. While my scores aren't as fast as some, I'm quite happy. Both machines are running at stock, and were cheap oem machines bought as is. I'm not seeing a huge difference in speed between PS7 and CS2 demo.

If I run PhotoShop via Windows XP Pro on my MacBook Pro (spec in sig) it only takes me 29 seconds! Woo, I feel special!

Was that was with Bootcamp?

It took 1:21 on my MacBook Pro (2.16Ghz, 2GB RAM) in Parallels.
 
1 min 24 secs .11

CS2
A64 3700 @2.4GHz
1GB Corsair XMS 3200
2X Seagate 200GB SATA Raid 0

1 min 6 secs .71

with all other programs closed and useless processes stopped :)

Quite a difference, for a relativly slow pc.
