Those running ver 4.0 and wanting to compare a 'standard' image + profiles configuration can download the files from http://members.cox.net/geonerd/nitest.zip
Dial up users note - the file is over 4MB.
It's a B/W image, but uses all the filter frequencies, USM, and other goodies. I'll cook up a color benchmark when I get a chance.
My times:
PC #1
AMD T'bird at 133 x 9 = 1.2 gigahertz
512M PC 133, Cas2
KT133a chipset. 4 way memory interleave.
Time: 2:07
PC #2
AMD XP 1700+ (Thoroughbred core) at 1.75 GHz (175x10)
NForce2 chipset, dual bank, 512 MB at 175/350 MHz. Cas 2.5
Time: 0:50
C'mon you A64 and 4 gig P4 users, lets see some speed!

NI Speed with various Athlon processors - your experiences?

Dual Opteron 244 (1.8 GHz), 2 GB DDR400 RAM (2-3-2-7, I think), AMD-8000 chipset
Time (1 image): 0m35s, 13.54 megapixels/minute
Time (2 images): 0m45s, 21.06 megapixels/minute
It's too bad NI can't work on a single image using multiple CPU's.

Multiprocessor scalability?
Same hardware as above, but now running 4.2 Pro+, and I'm doing a batch of 10 copies of the same image:
Time (10 images, processing only): 3m36s, 21.93 megapixels/minute
Time (10 images, loading + processing + saving): 3m52s, 20.42 megapixels/minute
A single image (thus only using one CPU) takes 30.5 seconds, or 15.53 megapixels/minute. So NI is only running at about 70% efficiency with two CPU's (it should do 31 megapixels/minute, but only gets about 22). I should try running two instances of NI to see if that makes a difference (I would expect not, but you never know)...
