That's a bit controversial. I've done upsampling both in the RAW converter and in Photoshop itself, with a series of different algorithms. I feel there are times when it works better in Camera Raw and other times when it works better using a stair-step approach in Photoshop. It's certainly faster/more responsive to to fundamental edits in Photoshop on the native resolution than on a 144Mbyte file ... just from the basis of shoving so much data around.
