Download the following image, open it in Photoshop, and then select:
Filter > Blur > Radial Blur.
On the Amount, put 100, and the Method, put Spin, and for Quality select Best.

like this:
Time how many seconds it takes for the Radial Blur filter to render image.
Please note the machine you are running and the processor type and speed.
The RAM and video card are irrelevant, this is pure processor action!
Here are some of the results from my machines - or those of friends:
2.66 Ghz Mac Pro Quad Core, PS CS 2... 11 seconds
2.5 Ghz G5 PPC Quad Core, PS CS 2... 19 seconds
2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook, Photoshop CS 3... 29 seconds
2.3 Ghz PPC Dual, PS CS 2... 41 seconds
2 Ghz G5 PPC Dual, PS CS 2... 48 seconds
1.25 Ghz Dual G4 PPC Mirror Drive Door, PS CS 3... 1:47
2 Ghz G5 PPC iMac, PS CS 2... 1:50
1.33 Ghz iBook G4, PS CS 2... 2:32
1 Ghz G4 eMac, PS CS 2... 3:22
400 MHZ iMac DV, PS CS... 9:42
233 Mhz Bondi iMac, CS 2... 14:02 (LOL)
And last but knott least, my 1 Ghz Dell Inspiron 2500, CS 2... 4:34
So...who's gonna beat 11 seconds?

Ok, on the cheapest Dell Optiplex you could buy a year ago with a 3ghz Pentium 4 with a gig of crappy ram ($450 with XP Pro) it takes 1:11 to render in PS Elements 4. I will try on my Core2Duo next week sometime.
I wonder if Elements is slower than CS2 or CS3?

When I ran the test using Elements at an Apple Store, it was the exact same time as CS 2.

On my windows blows 1.8 gig, and 1.5 gigs of ram with AMD cheap processor equals, 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Photo shop blows CS3 I used.
What kind of prize do I get?

I don't know how long the blur takes, but it takes forever and a day to load Photoshop on my CPM system.
How many falls is that rated?

Welcome to the dark side...
As we wait for someone to beat 11 seconds, let's see if anyone can do it slower than my
233 Mhz Bondi iMac at 14:02.

I'll have to try this when I get home... I have a dual boot setup on my PC. I run XP as well as OS X on it. I guess I can also run it on my AMD box as well, which also runs OS X and XP. It will be interesting to see the comparison between PC hardware running OS X versus XP.

Good Job, Scott. I was a little worried when I saw that someone on MR did a 10.5.
OK bitches (I'm referring to the guys, BTW, knott the ladies), who's gonna beat 10 seconds?

When I was young I could run the 100 in the 10 second zone.
Now we need a computer?

I'm too lazy to actually do it but fairly certain my 3700+ Clawhammer will crush your numbers...
here, I'll kinda up the ante -
is Photoshop a
1) single threaded app
or a
2) multi threaded app

Ray, I can pretty much guarantee my PS4 is a single threaded app.
