Here's the spec: Power PC G5 Quad 2.5GHz 4GB RAM So without a restart and after running the G5 for a few days solid, the action came in at 1 minute dead - which is slower than my previous test!? After a restart performance increased, with a time of 39.26secs. Now I should go and do something more interesting...! Anyone got some freshly painted walls??

“my methodology was,

mac os 10.4.6
photoshop 9.0

not after a fresh restart, machine had probably been on for a few days.
quit all other apps except menu meters.
open image, run action

photoshop in foreground the whole time (actions usually run faster if ps is not the foreground app)

timed action by watching the clock in System Preferences > Date and Time on my laptop. click go on the action at say 12:01:00 look at clock again when action stops. approx 12:01:32. did this a few times and took most consistent reading.

will run it again if you want to check.
