Mac Photoshop speed test

[HO]

Here is a new Photoshop bench sponsored by some Mac types over at Retouch Artists. I think they need to see some C2D results...

Well, it is well known that Photoshop runs faster under a Windows XP Parallels session than does the Rosetta-emulated CS2.

So until CS3 finally appears...

Not so.

And besides, that's not the point. My thinking was that some of the C2D community might be interested in showing the Mac community (there are plenty of G5 Speedtest results posted) that Macs (any Macs) are still playing second fiddle compared to the fastest PCs.

That's a lame 'review' ... And let me assure you, it IS true. I know from personal experience. I don't know what 'Image Test' they ran, but CS2 via Parallels is faster than CS2 via Rosetta under OSX.

CS2 in Vista on my Mac using Bootcamp just screams.
