I remember a long time ago someone had posted this performance test for photoshop. It involved a picture of a horse, and one had to give it a radial blur and post scores here.

Well look what I found in my junk folder!

Yep. Its the same horsy image.

So I thought I'd repost it here since the last time this was run was exactly two years ago, and our configs have greatly improved since then.

Load the image in photoshop.
Filter > Blur > Radial Blur.

Amount: 100
Method: Spin
Quality: Best.

To see the timings, at the bottom of the photoshop document window, click the arrow, "Show" > "Timings".

I got 32.3 secs on my iMac Core Duo 2Ghz with 2GB of RAM.
