Well, I'm a 27 year old Massachusetts College of Art Graduate, and have been a Photoshop User for 4.5 Years. I Started on Macs at an internship in Boston doing Digital photo Retouching. I Also Dabbled a little with Adobe Illustrator. At HOME, At the Time, I had a PIII 450Mhz With 768 Megs of SDRAM Compaired to the G3 Workstation I was on in the Studio... It Was indeed "Just As Fast" With Photoshop. However... The PIII Was Horrific with Adobe Illustrator. My Guess Is The Larger "On-Chip Cache" On The G3 Made it the Better Performer with all of Illustrator's Math Calculations (I think "Altivec" Is All Hype... I Think It's all just Cache Size). But then the P4 Stepped-up-to-the-plate. I NOW Own a P4 1.8 Ghz With a Mear 256 "Full Speed" Cache, and 1 Gig DDR 2700 RAM (Yes, It's One Of The First models). But I'll Tell You... It KICKS With Both Photoshop AND Illustrator. My Guess Is The Architectiural Improvements Combined with the DDR Memory. And if I'm Working On A 1.8 Ghz P4 With a Mear 256 Cache... I Can't Even IMAGINE What a 3.2 Ghz P4 With Hyperthreading Does!! Afterall... Photoshop And Illustrator Would Indeed Utilize The Hyper Threading. And With The 3.2 Ghz Rating, With an 800 Mhz FSB... I'm SURE Apple's Left In The Dust. INTEL=MONEY. MONEY=BETTER FABRICATION PROCESS. BETTER. FABRICATION=HIGHER SPEEDS. HIGHER SPEEDS="INDUSTRY STANDARD". "INDUSTRY STANDARD"=INTEL. Period. Hey... Just Ask Adobe... Apple's "Has-Been" Little Lap Dog.
