Adobe (and other software makers) have some pretty impressive engineering talent working for them. And the processor inside your computer is liable to be far more capable than anything you can fit into a camera. Plus, every camera maker produces software that leverages that engineering knowledge on a platform with superior memory and processor capabilities.
That said, I shoot RAW and small JPEG with my 5Dmk2, partly because I think one day I'll start putting the JPEGs straight onto Flickr or something (I won't because I like to tweak too much, even though the engineers are "better" than me), but I will say having the small JPEGs makes it easy to do a quick slideshow of what I've just loaded on my computer, much faster than waiting for a RAW processor to produce previews. Lightroom and Aperture can take advantage of embedded JPEGs to speed up the review process as well.
