BakedBeans said:My history states where at 500 - i dropped them
This is really odd, i also dropped my history state - but form 20 to 1 - and tested for the 3rd time. Now i got just over 10 minutes, while at first i got 14 min 32 sec first time and 14 min 39 sec the second time.
You guys will love this...
11 minutes and 50 seconds!!!
on a PC
AMD 64bit 3000+ (2.1GHZ)
1GB DDR 2
250GB Hard Drive
128MB of Graphics Memory
This makes me want my macbook / macbook pro tomorrow rather than next month. 12 minutes makes me want to cry.

7 minutes, 57 seconds RETEST after dropping my history from 20 to 1 and choosing a blank scratch disc and after updating Photoshop from 9.0 to 9.0.1.
(first test was 8 minutes, 27 seconds)

You have to go into Photoshop and load the action from the desktop first, then open the image, open the action and run it.
You have Photoshop, right?

Oh, crap, did i say Panther? I meant Windows 98 and Microsoft Paint...Is this compatible??
Nah, for some reason it won't run the action.
I opened PS, opened the action, then opened the image, then double clicked the action and nothing.
Hmmm...
Rich.
iGary said:Put the ganja DOWN.
God honest truth.... 51 seconds when i put the history states down.
I have 8 Minutes and 56 Seconds on my Dual 2.5 Ghz G5 with 4 GB of RAM and Radeon 9600XT. I am running 10.4.6 and Photoshop CS2 (9.0.1).
What Gives?
What Gives?
Okay I checked a few things:
1. Repaired disk permissions (Hadn't done so since the 9.0.1 update)
2. Changed the scratch disk from my boot disk to my second internal drive
3. Upped RAM usage levels by 600MB
4. Restarted Photoshop and quit all other applications
5. Set History states to 1
Now I am sitting pretty at 1:30 this is not a cached result is it?

Even under Rosetta, an Intel iMac beats my iMac G5, I got 7:03.
1.8 Ghz
1 gig of ram
Photoshop CS1
Time: 2 min 42 seconds
Dual Xeon 3Ghz, 2gig DDR400 memory, 3x36gig SCSI drives. Swap is on the first drive, scratch on the second... nothing on the third in terms of swap or scratch.
OS is XP Pro with Service pack 2. Photoshop is CS2.
Noticed it was hitting the swap or paging drive real hard about half way through. Not as much activity on the photoshop scratchdisk drive. Needs more RAM

Ok I need to re-test because a G4 just beat my G5, that's not right in my book. I will post in a few minutes.
iMac G5
1.8 Ghz
1 gig of ram
Everything on internal drive (I figure that's why it going slow....)
After a re-test, I got 5:58, still pretty bad.
