Oooh!  'Tis a bit slooooow.  I've never thought about timing PhotoShop 
startup... probably because I've never much noticed it.  I only have PS 
7 and not CS but I do have Win 2000 on my wheezy 5 year old 1.2GHz AMD 
machine.  But it does have 1-1/4GB RAM so I'm sure that helps.

First time start on my machine is 8 seconds.  That's without loading any 
image.  Obviously some DLL's get left in memory after shutting it down 
since restarting it with a call from BreezeBrowser and passing it a 7MP 
JPEG from the 5D at the same time takes only 6 seconds.

Think I'll stay here a while longer.  :-)
