Paintshop Pro is the same.  Opening a film scan in PSP takes *far* longer
than in Irfanview.

It seems that Adobe and JASC have inefficient code for packing and unpacking
LZW compression, so at least as far as opening and saving LZW TIFF files
goes, CPU speed will matter as well.  But it still a valid point that a
drive with a faster spin rate will improve the general operation of the
machine - image editing programs aside. :)
