Sam,

this has nothing to do with the performance of the Intel Macs - it is  
purely an Adobe issue.

Adobe has chosen NOT to write a universal binary version of CS2 - so  
the Intel Mcs has to use the Rosetta translation in order to run the  
Mca version of CS2 - of course - you can install Parallels or boot  
the Intel Macs as a PC and run the Windows version which will run at  
full speed of the processor.

The Core 2 Duo processor is generally considered the fastest thing  
out there - so don't blame Apple of this - it is purely Adobe who's a  
fault here - and are incurring the wrath of many, many Adobe users -  
me for one - I am certainly hoping Apple will write a Photoshop  
killer - as a Photoshop user since version 1 - I am enraged at the  
way Adobe is treating it's Mac users.

"What a story; I guess it's a happy ending; it's certainly better
performance. What I'm hearing is that the current MBP is already good
enough, but not really good, for Photoshop, much less for Aperture.
But that the next MBP might very well be due to further chip
developments. In any case, Lightroom might be enough less demanding
to work fine on even the current MBP, and I'm not sure I won't prefer
Lightroom anyway.

Good luck with your new Mac, Harlan, and happy holidays printing from
it.
