interesting. you'd think a shiny new OS could figure out how many processors it had under the hood by itself.

Actually, it's a long-standing design philosophy that Win OS only uses a single (primary) processor by default. There are various ways to 'force' the OS and other programs to actually make use of the second (and beyond) processor.

If you aren't running a 64bit version of Windows along with the 64bit Photoshop, but have a dual-core or better processor, open Windows Media player prior to opening photoshop and you should see a speed difference. Yay crazy M$!
