After researching the subject on the Internet looking for both positive and negative information I decided to call the Apple centre and discuss my disappointment of the previous day. I tested NX for real after tweeking and adjusting my PC to squeeze all performace from it and my D2X full frame RAW conversion took and amazing 3:15. I normally crop and apply 'faster' noise reduction so things so take as long. Average approx 1:00 for conversion. The same image converted using the Mac Pro took .... less than 10 seconds. The particular model on display only had 1GB memory and only 20M remaining after loading a D2X RAW file so I was running it at its worst.
I type this message using my newly setup (took 10 mins inc getting out of box) Mac Pro with 3GB memory!
Thanks all for your help and assistance.
