I use compressed NEF which gives a file size of around 10mb. The uncompressed version is around 20mb and that may account for the difference.
I think Foxy did a comparison between the two and suggested detail in whites was marginally superior on uncompressed. Therefore better for weddings.
Foxy generally used compressed NEF and we have done a series of speed tests over a range of pp processes using the same NEF, and now he has upped his ram the timings are fairly similar.
I deleted all my test notes bar one I have found. This relates to redraw when using the magnifier. Before his ram uprade Foxy found image redraw quite slow. This is my note back to him " I just had a go with hand grabber at 100% less than 1 sec and that is on a move from one side to other side of the screen, even using the birds eye square to move diagonally between corners I cannot count to 2 so I'll call that 1 sec. Redraw using the magnifier on ' birds eye ' from 2% - 600% around 6 secs. "
