I was using comparable systems at the same printing shop. 64 MB of RAM.
The Power Mac completed the blur operation 2 minutes and 13 seconds
earlier than the Pentium on a 600 dpi RGB image sized 21" x 21". May not
seem like very long, but when you do a lot of these every day, those 2
minutes add up fast.

As for the second half of your post, it simply shows your age. I seem to
recall hearing this type of argument from 14 year for the most part.
Occasionally someone older used it, but actual age tends to differ from
mental age in those people.
