Whilst if it was upsized from a jpeg this is another stage. I've not personally tested the theory, but then I'm not a 'measurebator' I just know that this works for me and the end product speaks for itself. Its what being a real world photographer is all about

I have just been running some tests on the above quote. Whenever I had to resize an image I would just resize in CS with image resize in small increments on a jpg image. I have just done a resize using the above method and the method I normaly use, I am very surprised at the diference at the same magnification. I have put a sample so you can see the diference.
The left hand of the pair is the Raw upsized and the right is using the image resize

Thanks Stephen for sharing that one I didn't know about it.
