[QUOTE="mac57, post: 291417, member: 17052"] Ice Cream Man, the numbers would tend to suggest that the PowerPC code is actually very good indeed. The numbers I posted are for a PowerMac G5 at 2.3 GHz. The other numbers that have been posted were for a 2.1 GHz iMac. As you can see, they are pretty close, implying that the Intel Native stuff and the PPC Native stuff perform at about the same rate. The really bad numbers that were posted for CS2 vs. CS3 compared CS2 on an Intel Mac (hence PPC code via Rosetta) and CS3 on the same Mac (Universal binary, hence running native). So, the CS2 PPC code didn't stink there - it was just being interpreted. On its native platform, you get the numbers I posted, which are quite respectable. [/QUOTE]
