    The original thread was a pretty decent attempt at benchmarking with Photoshop, but it was easy to introduce human error into the timing. While checking out some ATI video drivers, I found the guys at Driver Heaven have made an automated CS2 test suite (pre-compiled actions). Check it out here:
    http://www.driverheaven.net/photoshop/ There's already a test result database online with all the scores.

    Oh, anyone with an SZ might be interested in their Forceware drivers for nVidia chips.

    Did you try a right-click and save as? I got it loading as in a new Firefox tab as a bunch of junk.

    another thing is that the built in timer in ps is off. Its adds around 14sec to your actual time.
