The other interesting point is that in the publicity surrounding the release of the G5 a couple of months ago, I think it was not their 2GHz box, was meant to be sooo much faster than the Xeon 2.2GHz!...oh well !!
I think they ran a photoshop 'Bake-off', a dual 2ghz G5 against a Xeon box. The Mac beat the PC handsomely. Adding to together the two Photoshop action files in the links you sent would bear this out.
Xeon: 26+98=124 G5: 29+57=86
Depending on the size of the file in question I can believe that the G5 could be three times faster than the PC. In the 'Bake-off' they used a 600mb file I believe.
