Why do you insist on using all these filters in Photoshop benchmarktests? They are totally irrelevant in a Photoshop workflow, no-one ever uses them. Besides, they are often written in bad code that (sometimes) makes the process stall (specially on Apple Computers). Skip all filters next time, please!
A more relevant Photoshop test should involve tasks that you use everday, such us
Opening a file
Convert to 16 bit/channel
Adjust levels
Adjust curves
Creating an adjustment layer + some blending mode
Crop
Rotate
CMYK
Resize
Sharpen/ Unsharp mask (OK, that is a filter)
Save
