Not really. Doing this kind of filtering is rare for the average user of Photoshop. For normal picture editing, your machine is fast enough.
Got a tip for us?

Not so bad! The latest 1.67 PB was at 2minutes
Ouch!!!
I almost cried when I tried this... I've been trying to tell my boss that I need to upgrade my machine, now at least I have some evidence...
PowerMac G4 - 400MHZ
1.25GB SDRAM
Photoshop CS
OSX 10.3.9
Damn near gave up on it, but it took 10 min 24 Seconds. I might be the winner!

Widows xp x86 build 3790, 64-bit
Photoshop cs2
amd athlon 3800+ dual core at 2.2ghz
on a $50 mother bord
with 2 gigs of corsair value ram
$50 navida geforce fx 5200 128MB video card- running two 19" crt's
radial blur
34 seconds
Now with that respectable time, my pc cost about $500 to build. And is faster than my buddies the G5 dual 2.7 with 3gigs ram at 46 sec, but his quad G5 2.5 with 7 gigs of ram rates in at 16 seconds. But that is twice the computer and 3.5 times the ram whit a hefty premium too.
Here is a link to a pc forum. With the same test.

Great machine you got
I was actually surprised, with all the universal bad mouthing that's been going on, that it was ~4 times faster on this test than my old G4 @ 800. Of course the RAM has much to do with it, running Photoshop natively with 512 MB is stretching it, through Rosetta it's just plain folly, 2GB on the other hand seems like a better choice (
), but the dual core Intel, faster disk, much faster bus, etc, etc isn't too bad, either... I'm a bit tempted to download a Photoshop trial for Windows and run the test in Windows 2000 using Parallels Desktop, just for the heck of it...
Well, I just did... still using a MacBook 2.0 with 2GB RAM running 10.4.6...Mitthrawnuruodo said:
Have Parallels Desktop RC (build 1832) using a virtual machine with 392MB RAM and a 8000MB virtual disk running Windows 2000 SP4 (5.00.2195).
I did the test running Photoshop CS. Time: 1.47

Soon will upgrade to more memory 200 GB Ultra DMA @ 7200 rpm
Faster than a Drill?Photoshop CS version 8.0
10 seconds is pretty impressive. and in PS 7 under rosetta? damn. that's just about sickening to think about how it will run natively.
I have since retested my G5
( Dual 2.7Ghz, rest of the goodies are in my sig )
and i got 28seconds. Which in its own right is pretty darn good. but compared to 10 seconds lol.. it's a snails pace.

Wow...
that's just incredible. If this is any indication of how the next Photoshop program is to run, then I'm glad. Adobe Photoshop CS3 is going to be rad. Now if they can just bring the price down a little. Still, incredible.
