I note that you didn't post the link from the response you had on the other list, a link to a response from Apple vice-president of hardware responding to the test's critics on slashdot:

I'm sure at the end of the day, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. However, I think the speed issue is largely irrelevant for any of us with relatively new hardware, whatever platform when working with stills. I am very happy with the speed of my dual 1ghz G4 and won't be dashing out to buy a G5, even though now it makes the G4 look positively decrepit!
