Re: [Gimp-user] Tweaking performance

Redux:  

Ok, so I have ordered a new MB and 16GB ram(MB supports up to 32GB) for my desktop machine and am waiting for 
it to arrive.  However, I don't currently have a processor, and would like to get an idea of which would be 
better, specifically for GIMP's use:

More Cores, Slower clock speed
vs 
Fewer Core's, higher Clock speed

Given that GIMP seems to allow setting your number of CPUs it can utilize, my initial thought here would be 
the more cores, the better.  Also, since I will likely be running at least 1-2 other programs at the same 
time, I expect this would likely be the best approach.  At this point, I don't have any plan's to add 
additional components in the near future, but long term once prices drop, I will likely buy 1 or more SSD's.

Any thoughts on the CPU debate?
