I simply think you are expecting too much. 104Mpixel image files take a tremendous amount of processing operations. I don't know anything about the system you're using, but you describe it as "Not a hot rod system but it should be competent." Well, it sounds like it *is* "competent", it's just not fast like a hot rod system would be.
My brother does video and audio production. He uses a Mac Pro 2.7 Ghz 8-core tower with 24G RAM and striped 4T RAID array for his rendering work, along with very high end GPU to assist in the rendering. That's a hot rod system. Photoshop flies on it.
