MacPro Benchmarks: Photoshop in Tiger vs. Bootcamp
Since Adobe hasn?t released universal binary versions of its software, it seems like one option would be to run the XP versions with Bootcamp, rather than running the non-universal binary version with Tiger.
Has anyone seen benchmarks comparing the same model MacPro running Photoshop in Tiger vs. Running Photoshop in XP via Bootcamp? Which is faster?

PS on MacPro vs G5 - bugger all in it even running under Rosetta.
Note the AE result ...
I can imagine a designer buying a MacPro and running Photoshop et al. in XP instead of with Rosetta until next spring.
In Rosetta Photoshop had a normalized score of 188. That's roughly equal to a TiBook 1GHz G4.
In Windows XP Photoshop had a normalized score of 504. That's a little better than dual 3GHz Xeons (the old ones, not the Woodcrests).
For more comparisons a Mac mini 1.42GHz G4 scores 266. A dual processor 2GHz G5 scores 562.
