PS benchmarks

Not sure if this should be in this section....if not, feel free to move it.

anyway, just for fun

In Photoshop, make a new RGB white bg 8x10 300ppi document. Open Add Noise and set to Uniform, Monochromatic, 400% and click OK. Then open Radial Blur, set to Amount 100, Method Zoom, Quality Best but do not hit OK yet.

As you hit OK, start timing. Continue timing until the filter finishes, then stop.

Report the time back here along with your machine specs.

Not that I've to usually work on files this big. But anyway, I knew that Radial Blur is used as PS performance benchmark. I decided to give it a try anyway.
