In the words of Steve Jobs - "Woo!"
Just did the Test with the CS3 Beta on My 2Ghz Core Duo MBP with 2GB RAM in 34.6 seconds... That's what Photoshop should feel like...

It's been done a couple of times... look a few pages back, and there should be a link for the test.jpg... I'm just too lazy to search right now...
MBP 2.0ghz core-duo, 1gb ram
1 min 5 sec in Photoshop CS2
35 sec in CS3
The CPU isn't taxed at 100% through all of it. It sits at 100% for a second or two, slows to ~60% for about a second, and then jumps back to 100% for a few secs. I can only assume that there isn't enough ram bandwidth.
Also, after being opened once, and quitted (ie. CMD + Q), CS3 reopens in about 3 seconds on my MBP, including bouncing time. Even after websurfing for an hour with CS3 closed the files still stick in memory and CS3 opens nearly instantly. This is really going to help for all those times I close the program instead of the window..

So I just ran the test on my MBP.
C2D 2.16
1GB
Version 8.0
Somehow it ran in 26 seconds. This doesn't seem to be in line with what other people are getting..why is it going so fast for me?

3 hours, 2 minutes, 3 seconds.
PowerBook Duo 2300c
100mhz PowerPC 603e
56mb RAM
2.0gb Hard Drive
Adobe Photoshop 5.5
It really puts it into perspective to think that what ten years ago took 3 hours, 2 minutes, and 3 seconds on a PowerBook Duo now takes 10 - 20 seconds on a MacBook Pro.

I guess you didn't see my 3+ hour test on the previous page. Take your coat back off.
