Actually, on the speed basis - I was doing a project a couple of years back that ended up creating one of the most complex (in terms of Illy filter, etc) I've ever done. Slogged like a bitch on my old Pentium4 machine.
When I upgraded to my shiny i7 with 12gb of RAM late last year, that document was one of the first files I opened.
Very little difference in render speed - panning around the document took pretty much just as long to redraw as it did on my old machine. Everything else was lighting quick, just not Illy.
I'm glad I don't have to revisit that project.
Now I find that they've cloistered themselves with nVidia and CUDA, so any future GPU-based speed increases across the Adobe range are going to be invisible to ATI users. Wonderful. Not that this matters in Illy - there're no GPU tweaks in there, afaik.
Competition needed, Adobe. Time to move with the times.
