I really do agree with this. However, there are those that do use a good deal of filters for some tasks. I rarely touch filters since I just do photograph touch up. Everything I do in Photoshop now ran just as fast on my older hardware. Personally, I'm interested in seeing this ran on a PB G4 1.67ghz.
