Processes that are computationally intensive (like Fourier Transforms) take a lot of CPU power. Processes that handle large amounts of data and create large (dynamic) data structures use more RAM. It seems, from your description, that the blur filter in Photoshop falls into the first category.

Now having my macbook pro, and a decent desktop, I can say that I believe in a lot of cases using windows is the culprit. My macbook pro flies circles around my desktop when editing video with premiere pro and after effects, and my desktop stats are better.
