Hard disk speed and layout is responsible for a good part of how long it
takes to make a conversion. A separate, dedicated HD for the PS scratch

as is the Windows Paging File, and the working files are on another
That may be too much for your system. It doesn't leave much for the
operating system, services that are running in the background, and for some
tools, brushes, and filters in PS which rely on using memory outside of
that which Photoshop uses. Try dropping the PS memory allocation to 60%

I'm just using the Pentax software for RAW processing.
And the Sempron is the low end of the x64 chips. $135US it cost me.
And though clocking @ 3GHz, it really performs like a 2.0 or a little faster.
But for the money savings, and that it's faster than what I have at work,

The Pentax software is probably the reason for the slow speed (your
Sempron should be appreciably faster than my Duron, which is a several
generations older bottom-end CPU). Might I suggest RawShooter
Essentials? It's significantly better than the poor Pentax Software.
