I would like to see the effects of multiple disk systems. If you have your os/apps on your PATA system and data on the SATA system does that effect the results? If you had a benchmark that included paging what would the effects of seperating the scratch drive to a third subsystem? It may be that the current benchmark is not effected by these issues. KISS (keep it simple stupid) is the best policy. I may be asking for too many variables.

I was suprised to see CS2 with better speed results. My impression was that CS2 was slower than CS. One reason I have not upgraded was this speed issue. Do the actions in the benchmark benifit from the CS2 upgrade more than most?

My primary use is to convert raw images and edit the images. The current benchmark addresses the editing step. As the camera raw plug-in works outside of the rest of photoshop it would need a seperate benchmark.
