Agreed benchmarks are often deceptive.  Logic's developers worked very 
hard to make it get the most out of dual CPUs

False.  Apple bought emagic the company the exact same group of emagic 
developers  are writing logic as always have and most of them are still 
working in Germany at the old emagic office.

I would take that stuff with a hill of salt.  I am currently 
collaborating with a guy who like you got put off by the moaning and 
did not upgrade until a few days ago just before he got elbow deep into 
the album we are working on together in our separate studios.  He just 
called me not 20 minutes ago and was raving about all the cool new 
stuff he could do and had no complaints whatsoever.

The person I am referring to above is running on a G4 dual.

All of apple's lap top line and the new mini's are G4.  They are still 
selling plenty of products they want logic to be capable of running on.
