if you have a firewall, make sure its not blocking referrer, this is why you would be seeing the leech page. The reason we have this in place is that other sites always leech our files.

Thank you, I disabled the Firewall and I'm dowloading now.

Check out this thread maybe.

Make sure you have referrer logging enabled in whatever browser you're using, and check options in any firewall/privacy program for a setting that might be blocking it.

edit: I need faster internet.

P4 3,2E @ 3,6, 1 Gb of DDR 400, Abit IC7-G, Photoshop CS (8)

I ran the test now, I ran it 3 times and took out the best results I had, I'm a bit confused that I might have done something wrong as my score seems a little better compared to similiar systems, here goes;


1: Texturiser Test (1)
4.7 seconds

2: CYMK Colour Conversion
3,5 seconds

3: RGB Colour Conversion
6,3 seconds

4: Dust and Scratches
6,0 seconds

5: Watercolour
35,4 Seconds

6: Texturiser Test (2)
3,4 seconds

7: Stained Glass
8,4 seconds

8: Lighting Effects
5,8 seconds

9: Mosiac Tiles
22,4 seconds

10: Extrude
53,6 seconds

11: Smart Blur
41,0 seconds

12. Underpainting
32,1 seconds

Total

One thing should be noted I think:

Even if you have lots of RAM, your harddisk setup matters quite significantly (Photoshop uses the HD a lot - for internal caching, etc.). People with lesser systems (CPU and RAM-wise), but RAID setups, for example, might see higher overall performance than people with higher-end, but RAID-less systems. So I think it would be best to include HD setup in the results.

That said, bench away

It is a balance, a small file makes benchmarking on modern computers highly inaccurate, hence the size of this file, 60meg..... any paging should be minimal with this test, even with the largish 60 meg file, 300 meg of ram should cover the file and the filters and tests applied (approx 5 times the size of the source file), however HD will make a slight impact especially with the CMYK conversion as the file will increase in size temporarily (80meg) until it is shrunk via the RGB conversion later in the benchmark suite. Therefore yes it will make a slight difference but minimum to the results - i tested with stratch disc set to a raptor and a 7200drive and the difference was under a second, a much higher factor will be the version of photoshop used as I explained with the documentation. Of course the more ram (with tighter timings/bandwidth) the better !

You're right, in this bench HD performance has much lesser impact than I initially thought. The file size seems to be perfect for it

I redid the test with all programs possable turned off and got better scores which I updated on my first post, it seems my scores are higher then most in everything but stained glass, as Zardon says, it must have a lot to do with me using photoshop 7, I am also in Raid 0

Zardon

The guys in adobe really overhauled the filters as some of you will know in CS, especially those which call to specific CPU instruction sets. Those giving results with V7 will be quite a bit slower than those on CS due to a few tests primarily stained glass. Still its worthwhile as you can hopefully in this thread over time see users with similar systems and the scores they are getting.

I re-did my test with my cpu clocked @ 10x265 RAM at 1:1 cas 2.5 3-3-7, and set the ram to 85% these are my new scores;

Smart Blur 40

Underpainting 40,4

total time= 226.6s

Edit: and it's Photoshop CS...

Thanks Z, but what puzzles me is the great improvement of the Texturiser Test (1)...from 9.3s to 2.2s...
