Hey guys thought it might be helpful for those thinking about upgrading their systems if we created a database of processing times for various systems. I've uploaded a 1ds111 raw file to my server if you download it and duplicate four times for a total of five files then use image processor with Cs3 to process out unresized TIFF's with LZW compression. Time the batch with a stopwatch and post your sys config and times. At the moment I only have a MBP with me but I'll post more tomorrow when I get back to the studio.
