Re: Smart sharpen runs painfully slow

I did a test on my machine to simulate your 60 megapixels image for the square root of 60 megapixel I came up with 7746x7746 Pixels. So I opened a new document  7746x7746 Pixels 16bit ProPhotRGB 300DPI. made it 25.82" square/ I added a spectrum gradient ant the added a lot of noise. my machine is 2Ghz dual 6 core xeons.  It took Smart Sharpen 28 seconds to sharpen the image. Only CPU was being used no disk i/o little RAM user around 5GB for Photoshop all CPU during the 28 seconds used by Photoshop 30% of all 24 Processor threads.
