In addition to what the others have written, the "full-on" Photoshop (Photoshop CS4) has the ability to take advantage of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in addition to the CPU to speed up image processing operations. However, you need a new(er) NVIDIA GPU to get that additional bump (which can be significant).
