I have a mid-2011 iMac with a 21.5" screen and 20 GB of RAM.
I downloaded the benchmark images, imported them into C1 v11, and processed them almost according to instructions at the beginning of the thread. The instructions said to use the "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" ICC profile. This profile is available in my (very long) pull-down menu. I used what I always use, "sRGB Color Space Profile".
Exporting the 50 images from my managed catalog to my desktop took 3 minutes and 50 seconds. Maybe 49 seconds when counting finger lag.
C1 does not seem to support the GPU inside my computer so this sounds like 100% CPU.
Not necessarily. My 2009 Mac Pro with the Video Card took 2 minutes and 19 seconds. It took over 7 minutes with CPU only...
I'd say your integrated GPU was working...
I have a message in C1 under the Hardware Acceleration pull-down menus for Display and Processing that says, "Hardware acceleration doesn't work". That line is also a link that takes me to Phase One's tech support website explaining which GPUs are and are not supported.
Just for kicks I changed the setting from Auto to Never and I got the same time, 3 minutes 50 seconds.
